Practice philosophy: Providing tailored care to each individual requires knowing the many aspects of ones life. I approach patients by getting to know the individual, their families, and what there are most passionate about in life.
I am passionate about: working with adolescents as it is an exciting time of significant change and stress in one’s life where interventions to prevent further health and psychiatric issues can have a great impact on the individual’s future.
I knew I wanted to become a physician: ever since I was in first grade. I enjoy working with people and helping others become the best they can be and get the most out of life.
One challenge of this career that I enjoy is: motivating patients to care about their health has been the most challenging and rewarding things about medicine. Learning about patients on a deeper level allows me to tailor my approach so we can meet the same goals.
My personal health goal is: to try to live in the moment.
I am most proud of: advocating change within my health organization and community for which I work.
