About Me

I have been providing gender-affirming, inclusive and trauma-focused healthcare in my home state of Wisconsin (and my neighbors in Minnesota) for the past 8 years. I love this work so much that I completed a fellowship in LGBTQ+ health through the University of Wisconsin in 2025. While fear has driven larger healthcare institutions to close their doors to our trans, non-binary and gender queer youth, the evidence showing pediatric gender-affirming care as essential and lifesaving has not changed. And so, I will continue to provide that care for as long as I can!

I’m a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, GLMA and SAHM. If you would like to know more about the organizations’ stances on gender-affirming care, please reach out and I’d be very happy to share!

My background is in public health and reducing barriers to care. I want to make sure that all patients have access, regardless of their ability to pay, so I am asking for your help. Make a donation to help provide care for kids and families in need. Any amount can offset the costs for a visit, making gender-affirming care more accessible.

While I am a primary pediatrician, this work has been the most powerful, fun and rewarding part of my practice. I don’t want to lose it and I certainly don’t want to lose my patients. Thank you for showing up and being a part of my community!
