My approach
Medicine first. Aesthetics second.
My PA training took me through the Emergency Department, Orthopaedic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Primary Care, Internal Medicine, and Dermatology, along with a dedicated course in Evidence Based Medicine. The training is broad by design, but it goes well beneath the surface: it taught me to see the whole body, not just the area in front of me. That lens shapes every decision I make in this room. I'm not trained to chase a trend. I'm trained to assess a patient.
Evidence over trends
If a treatment doesn't have the data behind it, I don't offer it — no matter how many times it shows up on your For You page. What I recommend is based on training and outcomes, not what's currently viral.
"No" is part of the treatment plan
Not every request gets a yes. If something isn't right for your face, your goals, or your safety, I'll tell you — even if that's not what you came in hoping to hear. A good injector says no as often as they say yes.
Subtlety is the skill
The best work doesn't look like work. I'm not optimizing for a dramatic before-and-after — I'm optimizing for you still looking like you, just rested and refined.
A broad clinical lens
Aesthetic medicine is still medicine. Having worked across specialties before this, I bring a fuller picture of anatomy, risk, and patient safety to every treatment room — not just an injector's-eye view.
You won't find a wall of before-and-afters here — my patients tend to prefer it that way. What I can offer instead is a straight answer, an honest assessment, and a plan built on what actually works.
My own skin journey
I've been through acne three separate times.
The first was in my teens. It covered my entire forehead and cheeks — deep, cystic, and embarrassing. I caked on makeup. I sat over a pot of boiling water with essential oils and herbs from the kitchen, a towel over my head. I tried every over-the-counter product I could find, toothpaste included. My mom put a lot of money into the best Nordstrom products she could find. We did our best, but we didn't know what was actually going on, and I was dealing with the stress of being a teenager. Eventually it faded.
The second came around my undergraduate graduation, another high-stress stretch. Again I had no foundation for understanding it, so I threw the kitchen sink at it. Going gluten-free helped a lot.
The third hit around age 29 and carried into my early thirties, and it had several causes stacked together: a higher-progesterone IUD, stress, over-exfoliating, too many active ingredients, and a bout of food poisoning from dairy. What helped was spironolactone, Epicutis skincare to reduce inflammation and balance my microbiome, removing the IUD, focusing on gut health, and 1540 fractional laser and IPL treatments.
I've been through every version of this myself, and my medical background lets me look at the full picture, not just the breakout in front of you.
The full picture
Aging happens in layers.
Acne taught me to treat skin as a system instead of chasing one symptom. Aging works the same way. A face changes in three layers: the muscles that move it, the structure that supports it, and the skin itself. Each one needs something different.
Muscle
Neuromodulators
Every expression folds the skin over a muscle. Repeated for years, those folds stop smoothing out and settle in as lines that stay at rest. A neurotoxin relaxes the muscles behind them, so lines soften and stop deepening. Placement matters beyond wrinkles: it can open and lift the brow, and treating an overworked masseter can soften a square lower face.
Structure
Dermal fillers
Underneath, the face changes too. The facial bones lose volume and shift, and fat pads thin and descend. Skin ends up with less to sit on, which shows up as hollowing, shadows, and sagging. Filler puts support back where it has been lost. The aim is restoring structure, not adding volume for its own sake.
Skin integrity
Skin protocols
Collagen and elastin give skin its firmness and recoil. Collagen production declines roughly 1% a year from early adulthood, and the collagen that remains breaks into fragments, so skin thins and loses bounce. Skin rebuilds collagen slowly, which is why stimulating it takes a maintained plan, spaced over time, not a single session.
Daily care
At home
What you do at home protects everything else. Daily sunscreen and a retinoid have the strongest evidence for slowing visible aging, and adding more products rarely adds more results. I learned that the hard way: over-exfoliating and stacking actives made my skin worse, not better.
