Practice philosophy: To be a warm and caring presence in my patients' lives who makes them feel heard while also providing exceptional care.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? I would love to do something working in fashion or interior design.
What is something you have learned from your patients? My patients have taught me so much about resiliency during many difficult times in their lives and I continue to be inspired by their strength and ability to look for positives in all situations.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? I enjoy the challenge that diagnosing and treating patients presents. I've learned that no two patients are the same, so navigating the nuances of different cases is always intriguing to me.
What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? Getting plenty of sleep each night is by far the best thing I can do for both my mental and physical health. It's certainly a challenge with small children, but I manage to make it work!
What are you most proud of? My darling children without a doubt.
