About Me
Biography
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending my time with husband and two little children, baking desserts and doing yoga.
Care Philosophy
When I visit with patients, my goal is for them to know I am present so they can feel comfortable sharing their stories, which go beyond what is shown in their charts.
Area of Interest
I'm interested in several areas of neurology, but in particular stroke and complicated vascular anomalies. I'm drawn to both the diagnosis and treatment of brain conditions and diseases. In stroke, for example, I am rewarded by being able to provide treatments that make huge differences in quality of life for patients.
