Practice philosophy: I appreciate that each individual possesses their own set of needs, diverse backgrounds, and distinct perspectives. I believe that every patient deserves compassion, support, guidance, and encouragement on their healthcare journey. Together, as a partnership, we can work to achieve optimal emotional, social, and physical health and well-being.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? An Event Planner.
Why did you become a provider? I cared for a young girl who had such a strength and love for life. Witnessing the healthcare team’s dedication, care and compassion for her, I felt an undeniable calling to become a provider myself.
What is something you have learned from your patients? Active listening and patient engagement often uncover valuable diagnostic clues, making it important for healthcare providers to prioritize meaningful patient conversations.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? Not all patients follow the textbook. It may take additional work up, specialists and research to determine a diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? One step at a time, one day at a time. Set sustainable goals to avoid discouragement.
