Board Certified, Emergency Medicine, 20 years of experience
Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. My focus in medicine is to promote optimal health and well-being. This is achieved through good practice and caring, listening and addressing each patient's concerns. 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 believe that a well-rounded approach including nutrition, fitness and kindness is fundamental to good health. This is also incorporated into my practice. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy many outdoor activities and enjoy many seasonal treasures from viewing fireflies in the early summer to the fall color-change in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Providers make me feel seen, heard, and validated in my adversities and experience. The accessibility is huge and a life saver. It’s so hard to have the courage to seek help for something you believe you struggle with but have been dismissed and shot down before when you have tried to seek out help in the past. Having the option to be assessed virtually saved my life and has completely changed me for the better.
