My journey to women’s healthcare started at a young age. As a teenager I realized I was meant to become a midwife. At that time, I was on my path to becoming a nurse and graduated in 2010. I worked as a labor and delivery RN for almost 8 years. In that 8 years I also became a Certified Professional Midwife, serving birthing families in the birth center and home birth setting. In 2018 I became a Certified Nurse Midwife and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner – shifting my focus to hospital practice.  Since then I’ve served women and their families during pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum and for a wide variety of gynecological needs.

Now, as a mother of a toddler, I’ve decided to step away from labor and birth care, providing pregnancy, postpartum, and gynecological care in the office setting. My philosophy of care is patient centered, guided by many years of expertise. I look forward to meeting you and finding the ways in which I can help assist you in achieving your healthcare goals.

When I’m not working I enjoy playing in nature with my family – hiking, skiing, and gardening.
