About

My Approach to Care

My practice is grounded in an evidence-informed, biopsychosocial approach to care.

Treatment focuses on assessment, communication, informed consent, and collaborative treatment planning based on each patient’s symptoms, goals, comfort, and lived experience.

I aim to provide a respectful, inclusive, and patient-centered environment where individuals feel heard, supported, and actively involved in their care.
