My background includes work in diverse healthcare settings, both medical and psychiatric, allowing me to approach each patient with well-rounded understanding of the connection between physical and mental health.

My approach to care is evidenced-based, trauma-informed, and centered on the whole person. I strive to create a safe, respectful, and collaborative environment where clients feel heard, understood and supported.
I recognize that faith and spiritual beliefs can be a meaningful source of strength and purpose for many individuals. When desired, I respectfully acknowledge these perspectives as part of whole-person care while maintaining an evidence-based approach to mental health care.
Faith and/or spirituality are never imposed, but are honored when they are important to the individual.
