As a board certified family medicine physician, I have practiced in Whatcom County since 2009. My interests in medicine include women’s health, dance medicine, COVID, and in-office procedures, although my full spectrum of practice includes all areas of medicine and stages of life.

My education and research background keep me engaged in the scientific medical literature and helps me excel as a provider who looks deeper into the nuances of complicated conditions, on behalf of my patients. I have always brought a more holistic approach to my practice of medicine, but listening to and learning from my patients over the years has recently spurred me toward more knowledge of functional and integrative healing. 

I am tremendously grateful for my husband, an acute care surgeon, and my 4 children, who are growing up so fast and currently in elementary through high school. My personal time is spent enjoying activities that we do together, including dance and teaching dance, surfing/wakesurfing, backpacking, gardening, and being the new owner of a horse.  It has been a privilege to serve with my family overseas together, doing annual volunteer medical work in a remote area of Honduras. 

Canadian-born and California-raised, Whatcom County and the beautiful Northwest have been our beloved home for more than a decade, and we love it here!
