Practice philosophy: I combine the use of a trauma-informed lens, science-backed interventions, cultural humility, and loving care to best meet my patients' needs.
What are you passionate about and why? I enjoy developing relationships with patients, providing education about their symptoms/diagnoses, and working alongside them to develop coping skills to build a life that they feel is worth living.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? A research biologist or social worker.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? When arriving to treatment, patients may be suicidal, feel stuck, lack energy, and doubt their lives will improve. I have observed the therapeutic relationship change lives.
