I’m an OB-GYN doctor who cares for patients at HealthPartners. I chose this field because I enjoy taking care of women at such important times in their lives. My medical interests include natural childbirth, the management of high-risk pregnancies and the use of minimally invasive surgery when that is needed. I’m also interested in the role of mindfulness in medicine. As an OB-GYN, my work with patients covers a wide range, from preventive and reproductive care to birth, maternal health and infant health. I always take time to get to know my patients, so that I can understand their goals and deliver personalized care. In addition to caring for patients in the clinic or hospital, I’m involved in legislative advocacy, seeking to ensure that public health policy supports the needs of women and children.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active and being mindful.
