My Philosophy

As a Sacramento native and dermatology PA, I’m proud to care for the community that shaped me. I believe in forming genuine, lasting relationships with my patients built on trust, compassion, and collaboration. My goal is to make every visit feel like a conversation, not a lecture – where patients feel heard, supported, and part of the decision-making process.

I believe healthy skin is deeply connected to overall well-being and self-confidence. I take a holistic and evidence-based approach that focuses not only on the skin, but the lifestyle and other health factors that shape it. Every patient’s skin and story are unique. I strive to create personalized care that empowers patients to take an active role in their treatment so that together, we can work toward healthy and confident skin.
