Summary

  • I am a general pediatrician, coach and consultant to physicians and healthcare organizations in the areas of cross-cultural medicine, leadership, and provider well-being. I am a facilitator with the Center for Courage & Renewal and a Master Certified Physician Development Coach with the Physician Coaching Institute.

    I've been in pediatric practice for over 35 years concentrating on healthcare delivery to underserved and medically complex children in the District of Columbia, Tacoma, Seattle, Uganda, and Bolivia. I've held numerous faculty positions and am currently Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Washington.

    I now help physicians transform their relationship with the unrelenting demands of their jobs and discover a path toward meaning, professional fulfillment, and career longevity. I provide a welcoming, confidential space for my clients to explore what brings them joy in their work as healthcare providers and how to integrate that into their daily lives and future career plans.
