Physician

I am a physician board certified in gynecology and lifestyle medicine. I am also a trained Health and Wellness Coach. My goal is to advise patients using evidence-based lifestyle changes (nutrition, activity, stress management, etc.) to prevent or treat the root cause of chronic disease and promote wellness.

I am passionate about coaching patients to achieve long-term change.

Family

I understand the challenges of a busy family life. With a  physician husband and 3 children (now teens and young adults), I appreciate the struggle that unfolds when we try to juggle the schedules and family obligations while also prioritizing our health.

I work with my patients to develop manageable strategies regardless of what else is going on in their life.

Plant-Based

I practice what I preach when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. I am a strong advocate for the benefits of plant-based nutrition.

I am an avid distance runner and plants fuel me for all of my running adventures on the trails of Tahoe.
