Practice philosophy: I strive to deliver evidence-based, personalized care that is grounded in compassion to best serve the needs of my patients.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? Each person I meet is trying to be the best version of himself/herself/themself, and I get to come to work to help people achieve that version!
What is something you have learned from your patients? It is a privilege to be invited into someone's story.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? Dermatologic care requires a holistic, comprehensive lens that focuses not only on the skin, but the body as a whole. I enjoy solving the puzzle to help patient's achieve their health goals.
What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? Finding time for movement and getting outside daily. Also, always appreciate the little things - they are really the big things!
What are you most proud of? My family. My husband, our son, and our golden retriever are my world!
