Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
I am dedicated to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care by integrating evidence-based medicine into every treatment decision.

I tailor treatment plans to align with each patient’s preferences, goals, and unique needs. I value care for individuals from diverse backgrounds and am passionate about learning each patient’s life journey to better understand how to support their health and well-being.

Personal
"In my spare time, I find joy in a balanced routine of walking, yoga, swimming, and cooking. I cherish moments spent with my boyfriend and family, and I love the simple pleasure of walking my dog. Our days also include caring for our egg chickens and exploring the Twin Cities, where every corner holds a small adventure. This combination of outdoor activity, mindful practice, and family time shapes a warm, active lifestyle rooted in community and curiosity."
