A CU Medicine provider.

I was drawn into pain management because I like the challenge of discovering a patient’s underlying pain condition and being able to help them overcome it. I have a great deal of compassion for my patient’s pain experience – how their pain began, why they have it, and how it affects their life, their work, and their family.
My communication is open, friendly, and personalized. Patients have told me they feel comfortable asking me questions without feeling embarrassed or intimidated.

My goal is to provide quality care to each patient. I want my patients to be assured that they have come to the right place to feel better.

I love spending time with my family, going for long walks with our dog, hiking, spending time outdoors as often as possible.
