Charleston has been home for me since my family relocated to the area when I was a child. I attended the Medical University of South Carolina and after completing my residency in Denver, I returned to Charleston for good in 2008. \n I am board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and provide the full spectrum of OB/GYN care for adolescents through menopausal patients, including wellness visits, contraception, prenatal care, fertility evaluations, labor and delivery, abnormal uterine bleeding, hormone replacement therapy, hysterectomies, minimally invasive surgeries and more. I am passionate about health equity and access, dismantling bias and providing compassionate care to all patients, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other qualifier. \n As the daughter of a minister, my faith is important to me. I'm an elder at First (Scots) Presbyterian Church and have led medical missions to both Haiti and Malawi. \n I was named Preceptor of the Year for MUSC's Physician Assistant program in 2022. Since 2023, I've served on the board of Postpartum Support Charleston, a nonprofit supporting new moms with mental health concerns. In late 2024, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appointed me to the state Board of Medical Examiners for a 3-year term. \n My husband, Josh, and I have a daughter and a son, two boxers and six chickens. I love living in Mount Pleasant and being close to my parents and in-laws.

I'm a native Charlestonian who joined Lowcountry OB/GYN in 2002. I am a third-generation female physician, inspired by the work of my mother and maternal grandmother who cared for patients and their own families with equal vigor. OB/GYN is the perfect balance for me of the personal relationships with patients that develop over many years of getting to know each other in the office, and procedures that allow me to use the surgical skills that I have honed since working through college summers as a surgical assistant to my plastic surgeon father. After graduating from Drew University, I worked in London for a year before attending the Medical University of South Carolina and later completing my residency at the University of Texas. My philosophy on patient care is based on continuing to pursue updated information and skills to be the best source of care for my patients. My patients appreciate the time I put in helping them to understand what is happening to them medically, so that they can make the best decisions for themselves from the options we discuss. Complex and routine obstetrics, minimally invasive surgical management of abnormal bleeding, fibroids and endometriosis, modern management of menopause transition, and sexual function disorders are among my specialties. I am board-certified and a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a member of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health, and a Menopause Society Certified Provider. In my free time, I enjoy writing and speaking nationally and internationally about women's health, especially midlife women's health, and sexual medicine, on podcasts and panels to spread the word that there are doctors that care about modern solutions to your problems and are willing to help! I am able to do these things due to the support of my husband and our two children. And for fun, you can find me with friends walking the bridge, paddle boarding, or eating at any of the amazing Charleston restaurants!
