Community Activities
I am on the advisory board of TEACH, a nationally known training program that trains family physicians and advanced practice clinicians in comprehensive abortion care. I am volunteer clinical faculty in the UCSF School of Nursing, and I host art journaling sessions for healthcare providers.
Personal Interests
I am an avid art journaler, which means I journal using art in books. I also make and give out stickers and zines (small self-published booklets on a variety of topics). I love to cook for my family and friends, obsessing over New York Times Cooking recipes. I spend time every year on an island in Maine.
Philosophy of Care
I am a board-certified women's health nurse practitioner with a recent Doctorate in Nursing Practice. I have been providing sexual and reproductive health care for thirty years. It is an honor and a privilege to meet people wherever they are on their reproductive life journeys and help them make choices that enable them to live the lives they want. I am committed to ending the stigma and shame around abortion, sexually transmitted infections, and other sexual and reproductive health issues that aren't talked about openly. I do my best to provide care that is efficient, informative and pain-free. I specialize in difficult implant and IUD procedures and was the first NP in California to be legally trained to provide first trimester aspiration abortion.
