Spending time with my family and good friends; spending time on activities such as biking, running, hiking, sailing, dancing, and listening to music; cooking and eating really good food; traveling and experiencing what other cultures have to share with me.

Work/Practice philosophies:

I like to incorporate communication and teamwork to build an ideal provider/patient relationship. I believe in shared decision making about a patient's treatment, and in making sure our patients are well informed of their health conditions and needs. 

I strive to make a difference in my patients’ lives by showing compassion and listening to their concerns while working in partnership to help them find wholeness of body and mind. With each patient, I focus on an individualized approach to care.
