Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I believe in the biopsychosocial approach to medicine. I enjoy helping others and helping to achieve your personal health goals. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? The role of the PCP should be to ensure the patients needs are optimally met psychologically as well as physically. This belief uses the biopsychosocial approach. Without mental health it is difficult to achieve physical health so they must be tied and worked on together for optimization of health. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to spend time with my family, which includes two young children and my 3 dogs! I love to read and be outdoors.
