Practice philosophy: To partner with patients to understand their needs and create a path to better health together.
What are you passionate about and why? I am passionate about collaborating with patients to come up with plans that are tailored, relevant, and realistic to meet their current needs and goals. I believe patient education is key to allowing each patient to take the best care of themselves.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? Professional dog walker because nothing is better than being outside with a pup!
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you?I became a provider to help other people reach their health goals. I have loved learning so much about the human body, psychology, and healthy lifestyle tips that we all can benefit from knowing.
What is something you have learned from your patients? To always be patient and kind, and to have empathy for what other people are dealing with.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? I enjoy tailoring care to each person's life and breaking down the barriers that are holding people back. Many barriers are out of our control so navigating around that is challenging but beneficial.
What is your personal health goal? To eat nourishing food and get outside every day
What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? Taking a walk outside first thing in the morning with my dog is not only enjoyable but a great way to start the day with movement, nature, and (hopefully!) sunshine. It sets a good tone for the day!
What are you most proud of? My dedication to the hard work it takes to help people take the best care of themselves.
