Philosophy of Care

My goal is to advocate for normal birth, provide compassionate quality care, and empower women through their birth experience. My greatest pleasure is developing a close professional relationship with you and caring for you throughout your life span.
I am also an ally to our LGBTQ+ community and provide a safe space for all of my patients to discuss their unique health care needs.

Personal Information

My husband and I have three young children. When not at EvergreenHealth or carpooling to and from the kids' activities, my interests include running and legislative advocacy for midwives.

I serve as the state legislative contact for the Washington Affiliate of the American College of Nurse Midwives as well as a Pro-Tem member of the Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission.
