Biography

Why did you become a physician/provider?
I enjoy supporting people in living their best life and navigating the challenges in life. I truly enjoy learning about and getting to know people.

As a provider, what is your medical philosophy?
It's my philosophy that mental health and physical health are equally important and, in my career, I've been able to help others see this, as well.

What type of care/clinic interests are you most passionate about?
I enjoy presenting and providing education on mental health-related topics. I truly enjoy helping people build healthy work environments and healthy personal lives.

Why did you choose your specialty?
I'm a very solution-focused and goal-oriented person, and I enjoy providing interventions that can be achieved in a short-term therapy setting.

What qualities best describe the care you provide your patients?
I bring a caring and calming presence, as well as a warm and nonjudgmental approach.

Being a healthcare provider, what drives/motivates you each day?
I'm a lifelong learner and enjoy learning from and about the people I care for each day. I love that no two days are ever the same.

With information and support, humans can navigate things they never thought they could. We'll provide the information and support people need to get through the messy parts of life.
