I switched to practicing Membership Medicine because it gives my patients more time. More time for listening, more time for answering questions, and simply more time for care. 

I have a different experience base than most primary care physicians. After completing residency in Internal Medicine at UW/Harborview, I spent 7 years as a supervising physician in the Harborview Medical Center Emergency Department, treating trauma victims and critically ill medical patients, alongside Dr. Warren. 

After leaving Harborview, I provided primary care to the urban underserved, including Seattle’s homeless population, at Neighborcare Health at Pike Market Clinic from 2010 to 2015. While at Pike Market Clinic, I learned to provide gender-affirming care, and I accrued a wealth of experience in complicated mental health care. These experiences taught me to never judge a book by its cover.

I joined Dr. Warren in 2015 because I believe in the Wise Patient philosophy and model of providing care. In addition to general primary care, my particular interests include providing gender-affirming care for transgender and non-binary folks, mental health, women’s health, and I am board-certified in Obesity Medicine. 

When not at work, I love to trail run with my ‘Puget Sound Squirrel Hound’, Willie, who also serves as our clinic mascot! I would love to help you plan any medical aspects of your next adventure, from summits to finish lines.
