“I aim to provide patients and other family members with high-quality psychiatric care, since treating cancer is a challenging process.”

What brought you to Fred Hutch?
My father was treated for lymphoma at Fred Hutch, and this experience showed me the big picture as far as what type of care patients can receive. I wanted to be a part of that team approach.
What sets Fred Hutch apart in terms of patient care?
It’s all so very cutting-edge. We see patients with a wide variety of cancers, and we see them as whole people. Our supportive care is the glue that holds everything together.
Provider Background
Area of Clinical Practice
Psychiatry
I chose psychiatry as an area of practice because I want to provide holistic care to the whole person, including from a mental health standpoint. With cancer, people are experiencing many different emotions throughout the process, so it’s extremely important to support them through what they are feeling, both physically and emotionally.
