About me
I am an advanced practice provider with experience in treating hematologic malignancies, also known as blood cancers and disorders. I work at OHSU’s Knight Cancer Institute and have a particular focus on multiple myeloma and related conditions like amyloidosis and plasma cell leukemia (PCL).
Some of the treatments I provide my patients include:
- Bone marrow biopsies
- Lumbar punctures
- Chemotherapy management and treatment plans (in coordination with the patient’s oncologist)
My approach to care is patient-centered, caring and holistic, emphasizing each individual's unique needs and overall well-being. I strive to build long-term connections with my patients and support their wellness journey through compassionate care.
Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors backpacking, biking, camping or running with my wife and dog, Artie. I also love spending time along the river, going to the coast and exploring the Mt. Hood wilderness.

Insurance
Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher.
