Care Philosophy & Areas of Expertise
I bring a unique perspective to patient care, blending the art and science of medicine with a deep understanding of the impact of nutrition on health. My passion for women's health shines through in my comprehensive understanding of a vast array of gynecologic issues. Sexual Health: I provide compassionate care and comprehensive counseling on a wide range of sexual health issues, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), contraceptive options, and sexual dysfunction. I foster open communication and empowers patients to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive well-being.
Contraception: From birth control pills to intrauterine devices (IUDs) and beyond, I provide expert guidance on contraceptive options suited to each patient's lifestyle and preferences. I ensure comprehensive counseling, addressing efficacy, side effects, and long-term implications.
Preventive Care: I emphasizes the importance of preventive gynecologic care, including routine screenings such as Pap smears, HPV testing, and breast exams. Through early detection and proactive interventions, I aim to promote optimal health and wellness for my patients.
Favorite Healthy Activities

One thing I have learned from my patients
Through my patient interactions I have learned the importance of building meaningful relationships and providing personalized attention. Each patient has a different experience with their body and so treating each patient individually really helps them feel seen and heard through such personal and private health matters.
