I believe patient care is fundamentally based on a shared goal of optimal health and pure trust. Working together we can find the best strategies and conversations to build knowledge and understanding. My patients come first and their beliefs help drive the care they receive. In my free time, I love to be outdoors. Whether it is on a hike, walking the dog, kayaking or on the motorcycle, you are sure to find me outside on a beautiful day. I enjoy cooking and baking as well. I've even taken on the responsibility of pie baking and cookie making for the holidays."
