Obstetrics & Gynecology near Woodbury, MN

Biography: I believe caring for women is one of the most important responsibilities in the world. Midwifery allows me to bring my multidisciplinary background together and care for women with intention and kindness. Using an integrative approach to care, I support women and families as they navigate the joys and challenges of pregnancy and birth. The midwife-supported births of my two sons were important events on my path to midwifery. They provide me with direct understanding of the patient experience. My Master of Public Health degree, international health care experience and yoga teacher training provide me with the tools to support patients from diverse backgrounds in preparation for a safe and satisfying birth. Additionally, I support women through the challenges of postpartum life, contraception and menopause.

Biography: My goal as an OB-GYN is to foster strong, trusting relationships with my patients in order to provide excellent care with a focus on shared decision making. I recognize that choosing an OB-GYN can be very personal and vulnerable, and I feel privileged to care for and empower my patients. I have broad experience in many areas of obstetrics and gynecology, including contraception, high-risk pregnancy, abnormal uterine bleeding and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. I have a special interest in comprehensive gender-affirming care and care for the LGBTQ+ population. I believe in comprehensive, evidence-based care for all, regardless of age, race, gender or sexuality.

Biography: What I enjoy most about being a midwife is it allows me to help women become empowered in their health care throughout their lives. I feel a positive pregnancy, labor and birth experience can greatly influence a couple's confidence in becoming parents. I am committed to preserving normalcy in health care and treating life events, like childbirth, as opportunities to promote wellness.
