Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. The human body has amazing potential and I believe it is my job as a practitioner to help facilitate this. My main focus is to provide my patients with individualized, patient-centered, science-based care that addresses the underlying causes of disease and promotes optimal wellness both physically and mentally. 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? Health and wellbeing is complex and multifaceted. Patients should be addressed as a whole taking in both physical and mental health in order to appropriately assess, diagnosis and treat successfully. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? My husband and I spend most of my spare time with our 2 kids and their sporting endeavors. I also enjoy gardening and a good podcast.
