I believe the doctor-patient relationship is a partnership where I work with each patient to come up with the best personalized health treatment plan together. By actively listening to my patients and allowing each person’s unique story to be told, I can treat, educate, and empower my patients to lead healthier and happier lives. As a strong believer in integrative medicine, I work with naturopathic physicians, nutritionists, massage therapists, and acupuncturists when indicated to individualize each patient’s treatment plan. Helping patients to live well and to achieve a good quality of life is my goal and what I enjoy most about being a family medicine physician. Outside of medicine I have many other interests. I love home remodeling projects, hiking and snowshoeing in the Cascade Mountains, traveling and reading.
