Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I believe mental health is the key factor for a happy and fulfilling life. Collaborating with my patients and their families leads to the best mental health care. 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? I take the time with each patient to fully understand the situation and create a personalized treatment plan which includes medication management and lifestyle changes. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time, I enjoy drawing, decorating, and hikes.
