Bio & Overview

After receiving a Bachelors of Arts degree from UVA in 1990, I became interested in women's health and went on to earn Bachelor's and Master's degrees in nursing. I was certified as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner in 1998. I spent my early career working in a birthing center in South Texas, then moved on to a private OB-GYN practice in Williamsburg, VA. After a few years in Seattle, I was thrilled to be invited back to UVA for my job at the Teen Health Center in 2002. I bring expertise in the special health concerns of young women, including the treatment of  menstrual cramps, migraine headaches and acne. I'm also specially trained to provide the most current and effective birth control methods and to perform colposcopy (a follow-up procedure for abnormal Pap smears). Outside of work, I enjoy being a mom, reading and traveling.

She did not overreact about my concerns and kept calm and humanized me. A lot of people go into a doctors office scared that their health is all wack, but she quickly reassured me that my concerns can be checked and debunked and/or followed up and fixed. Other places I've been, they don't actually listen to my concerns and run tests I never needed, verses what I want to look at. She actually understood me!

We have been looking for someone who will talk to my daughter and not me. Heather did just that! She listened and made my 16 y/o very comfortable!

My PCP Heather Payne whom I meet with and have known for a while is an ally in all senses, as far as I have been able to tell.
