Biography
What qualities best describe the care you provide to your patients? I am a good listener. I love to hear patients’ life events and feelings they are willing to share. I partner with my patients and work as team for their care, because they've known themselves much longer than I ever will.
Being a healthcare provider, what drives/motivates you each day? Making a difference. I'm driven by providing mental health care to people who have not had access or do not fit the “mold” of our current health system.
What is the most important message you would like to share with your patients? I am here to listen to you, and I can offer suggestions of what might be helpful to improve your health. The decision to follow those suggestions is yours. We are a team.
What would you like your patients to know about you? I am trustworthy and will work to gain your trust with my words and actions.
Are there any fun facts that you would like the community to know about you? I emigrated to the United States in 1989 from Switzerland. My maternal language is French. I have three amazing cats and love to “catsit” my grand-cat!
Personal Interests: Being with my family, reading, knitting, playing with my cats.
