Note:

I specialize in pregnancies complicated by preexisting maternal conditions such as cardiac concerns, hypertension, diabetes, lupus,and maternal stroke to name a few. I also specialize in pregnancies that are complicated by multiple gestations (twins, triplets and more), fetal conditions such as fetal cardiac malformations, other fetal anomalies, placental problems, and fetal infections. I enjoy doing prenatal diagnosis (amniocentesis, CVS) and high level ultrasounds. I work with women who have ongoing pregnancy problems including incompetent cervix, preterm labor, abnormal fetal growth, preeclampsia, or a previous history of complicated pregnancy. I am dedicated to helping all women reach their goal of a successful pregnancy. I feel very priviledged to help families through a challenging preganncy and to be able to share in their joy with the delivery of a heathy baby (or babies!).

When not at Park Nicollet, I enjoy being with my family which includes my husband of 38 years, two grown children (and daughter-in-law) and two small dogs. I very much enjoy being outdoors year round and spend time hiking, biking, gardening, kayaking, skiing, and snowshoeing. I also continue to endeavor to improve my musical abilities by playing my flute in a community band and at my church.
