What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I believe in developing a personalized, collaborative and judgment free treatment alliance with each of my patients to achieve identify treatment goals. I achieve this by using an evidence-based approach with empathetic and individualized treatment. 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 a primary care provider is on a continuum and encompasses not only a patient’s physical health but also behavioral health needs and psychosocial needs. The patient should be treated as a whole in order to truly guide them toward optimal health. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time I enjoy traveling, playing with my dog and reading mystery novels.
