About me
I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but fell in love with the Pacific Northwest when I attended the University of Oregon for my undergraduate degree. After receiving my medical degree from the University of New Mexico, I happily returned here. I met my partner during my residency training; he is a sports medicine physician. I decided to pursue medicine after working in neurobiology research and realizing that I wanted to make a difference more directly in other people's lives. I am a member of the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Cytology, and I also have a certification in wilderness medicine and first aid. I chose to work at Kaiser Permanente because the organization treats patients and clinicians as whole people.
About my practice
I approach each patient as a person, not a diagnosis, and I strive to partner with my patients to help them achieve and maintain their health. I see my role as healer and communicator, helping my patients to understand the science behind their health problems and empowering them to recover and stay well. I especially enjoy hearing my patients' stories and getting to know them. Women's and reproductive health is a particular interest of mine, but I love serving patients of all genders and ages.
How I thrive
I try to "practice what I preach" to my patients as much as possible by following a plant-based diet and staying active. Exercise is a great motivator for me and helps keep my stress level low - I relish the feeling after I finish a tough workout. I enjoy rock climbing, doing CrossFit, running, cycling, and scuba diving. I try to get together with friends at least once a week and make time to relax with my partner and cat. My partner and I also like to travel and stay at quirky hotels together, such as a "Swiss chateau" near Leavenworth.

How we choose our network providers and hospitals
Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select practitioners and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business, and uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
A narrow network is defined as a tailored, tiered, or high-performance network that has 80 percent or less overlap with a health plan’s broadest network offered to a member in any type of plan offered by that health plan. Kaiser Permanente does not have a narrow network with respect to its Marketplace plans. Members enrolled in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) Marketplace plans have access to the same provider networks as members enrolled in all other KFHP plans.
