I have experience in a variety of medical specialties, which has provided the opportunity to work with patients who have acute and chronic physical and mental health issues. I believe it is important to treat the whole person, mind, body and spirit with understanding, compassion and respect.  

Teaching patients about ways to prevent health issues or complications is one of my priorities. I provide direct, caring, honest answers to patients and will do my best to help them live a healthy, productive life.  

By creating trusting, collaborative relationships with patients, I am able to empower and motivate them to make informed health care decisions."
