    Provider's Bio

    Medicine is my vocation. I feel that I have been called to serve others by helping address spinal and brain pathology that is impacting quality of life and potentially quantity of life. It is a joy to play a role in empowering my patients to achieve the quality of life they desire.

    You can expect my full attention and dedication to your symptoms and concerns at the time of our consultation. I will be honest in discussion of what I can or cannot offer you. If I am unable to recommend surgery that will benefit you — with benefits outweighing the risks — I will help ascertain the best next step and connect you with those resources.

    I grew up in Colorado and completed my education and subsequent training at Notre Dame, Georgetown, and Mayo Clinic.

    Family and faith are important to me. I have a wonderful husband with whom I have two young boys — being a boy mom definitely suits me. I also have a goofy golden retriever, and we all love to be outside and active.
