As a young person, I realized that I did not fit into the script of the world around me. As I grew, I noticed that this was a far more universal experience than unique.

The worlds we encounter as people and patients are often exclusive to those that fit certain criteria. Both individuals and systems cause enormous harm when they are exclusive in these ways. The stakes are high when those systems of exclusion are also designated to provide health care and healing.

Collectively, we can build the systems to better reflect our diverse humanity.

With that vision in mind, I root my clinical practice from seeds of equity, inclusivity and curiosity.

You deserve access to health care without prejudice, exclusion or trauma. My practice is oriented in affirmation of your identity, experience and expertise.

I will provide:

• primary care services to address and mitigate health consequences

• tools for the fortification of connections between body, mind and spirit

• access to essential treatments and evaluation (e.g. medication, hormones, laboratory studies, imaging, referrals)

• validation, accompaniment and collaboration

• individual appointments and community group support
