Bio

I am a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in adult-gerontology acute care and palliative care. I help individuals and families navigate the symptoms and complex decisions of serious illness, combining clinical expertise with a human-centered approach to reduce suffering and align care with what matters most.

In the inpatient setting, I collaborate with the interdisciplinary palliative care team for patients with all life-limiting diagnoses and stages of illness. Outpatient, I consult for the Medical and Radiation Oncology teams at Bayview’s Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, supporting patients with advanced lung and esophageal cancers. Here, I establish longitudinal relationships, provide tailored symptom management, and guide patients through the complexities of their cancer journey.

I am a husband, father, and musician, and believe that easing suffering isn’t always about eliminating pain but about expanding our capacity for acceptance.
