Care Philosophy: I enjoy providing comprehensive, quality care to my patients, focusing on the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases and acute illnesses. I have a passion for my patients!

Care Philosophy: I believe in listening to my patient. I acknowledge that they patient know their body better than anyone. Every patient is seeking and needs or wants something different, and needs or wants that in a way that fits with their view of their health. Together, the patient and I collaborate to form the working relationship: Is the patient more knowledgeable and self-directed? Or would they prefer I take the lead in outlining a care plan? Motivational interviewing for positive health behavior maintenance or change is my main approach to care.
