Patient Care Philosophy:

I believe healing is a process that requires a holistic understanding of the connection between body, mind, nutrition, and exercise. I enjoy working with patients who play an active role in their health care to achieve their unique goals. Most important in achieving those goals is an authentic communication grounded in trust and honesty. This will not only help with acute care but also provide access to support and motivate people in creating a healthy, active life beyond illness.
