Provider Expertise

Clinical Interest for Patients

My goal is to provide high-quality, culturally-sensitive, and affordable obesity medicine healthcare with special interests in combined pharmacotherapy, mental health, and LGBTQ+ health.


Care Philosophy

I aim to be a physician who empowers and works alongside my patients to determine the best possible path forward. I cannot promise that I have all the answers, but I can promise that we will figure it out together.

Interests & Activities

Personal Interests

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my spouse and our dog, Molly, who is a cocker spaniel/beagle mix. We are huge dog lovers and Molly is a bucket full of energy that keeps us on our toes. A few hobbies I enjoy include tasting new cuisines, visiting new sights, camping, hiking, kickboxing, weight lifting, and slowly but surely expanding my cooking skills. I'm a proud aunt/tia of 4 nephews and 1 niece!
