It was at a young age that I knew I wanted to be a part of something that met people at their most vulnerable state with a heart of compassion and empathy. I believe in listening to the patient, allowing them to feel seen and heard, and then coming alongside them to help find a solution that works for their specific needs. It’s knowing who the patient is and understanding what their health and wellness goals are that enables me to partner with them to achieve those goals.
