My journey to becoming the provider I am today has been shaped by a combination of my personal experiences and education. Working in various inpatient and outpatient settings taught me the importance of active listening and personalized care. My education provided a strong foundation in evidence-based practices, while real-world experience helped me develop a patient-centered approach focused on empowering individuals in their treatment. My philosophy as a provider is to create an empathetic and understanding environment where each patient feels safe and supported. I approach each situation with an open mind, free of judgment, and focus on fostering hope and recovery. At the same time, I strive to empower my patients by giving them with the knowledge and tools necessary to take an active role in their treatment and work toward their success. During an appointment with me, my patients can expect a friendly, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where they feel heard and understood. I work to understand their concerns, goals, and history to create a comprehensive picture of their mental health. I work with my patients to understand their symptoms, discuss any challenges they may be facing, and explore treatment options that are tailored to their` unique needs. By taking a collaborative approach, each patient will have an active role in developing their treatment plan. Whether it involves medication management, therapy, or lifestyle adjustments. My goal is to ensure my patients feel empowered with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about their care. I am married and have a son. My family is also accompanied by a variety of pets, including goats, pigs, ducks, chickens, a rabbit, a cat and a dog. These animals bring a great deal of joy and energy to our home, creating a lively and fulfilling environment. I enjoy spending quality time with my family, as well as traveling, running, hiking and reading. In 2022, I completed my first marathon and have participated in several half marathons as well. One of my life goals is to visit every national park with my family, creating lasting memories while exploring the beauty of the natural landscapes."
