Practice philosophy: My practice philosophy comprises of understanding the individual in the context of their life, and placing value on what is important to them. Their diagnoses and treatment matter as much as their understanding of their diagnoses, and personal experience of their condition. The developmental framework informs much of my medical decision making. I believe that patients and their families deserve to learn about interventions that have a sound evidence base that are likely to make a measurable and meaningful difference in their lives.
What are you passionate about and why? I really enjoy working with children/adolescents/young adults and their families. I enjoy the developmental perspective. It is so gratifying to see them improve and evolve as individuals, and to have the honor of participating in their treatment.
