Why Dermatology?

I love dermatology because it allows me to create visible, meaningful results for patients. Helping someone achieve clear, healthy skin not only transforms their appearance but also boosts their confidence and overall sense of well-being. Seeing that change in a patient is incredibly rewarding and motivates everything I do.

My Philosophy

Clear, radiant skin starts from the inside. There is no single product or quick fix that delivers optimal results. Whether addressing acne treatment, psoriasis treatment, or aging gracefully, the best outcomes combine medical treatment, skincare, and lifestyle strategies to create skin—and confidence—that lasts. My approach integrates dermatology services with lifestyle guidance so patients see long-term results.

Dermatology Differently

I provide care that goes beyond treatment. By combining medical dermatology, personalized skincare, and lifestyle modification, I help patients achieve total skin and body wellness. Many dermatologists focus solely on treatment; I guide patients to integrate medical care with everyday routines—so skin health and confidence thrive together.

Credentials & Expertise

I am a board-certified Scottsdale dermatologist and fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. I earned my medical degree from the University of Louisville in 2004 and completed dermatology residency training there as well as two years in pathology and a preliminary year in internal medicine.

I also hold a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and am completing board certification through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

A Personal Note

Originally from Kentucky, I’ve been proud to call Arizona home since 2012. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me at hot yoga, traveling to the mountains, or watching ocean storms—moments that help me reset and stay inspired. I cherish time with my husband, son, and our dog.
