Providers

"Understanding that substance use disorders often stem from complex personal and social factors, I take a client-centered approach that acknowledges individual experiences, cultural backgrounds, and unique recovery goals. My role is not to dictate a path but to walk alongside my patients, offering guidance, education, and support tailored to their specific needs. Through evidence-based practices, I guide patients in developing coping strategies, building resilience, and fostering self-awareness. I believe in the importance of integrating education, emotional support, and skill-building in the recovery process. Each person’s progress is celebrated, no matter the pace, as I acknowledge that growth comes in many forms. Ultimately, I am committed to upholding the dignity and autonomy of those I serve, recognizing that recovery is not a linear path but one that requires ongoing support, encouragement, and commitment. My goal is to help patients achieve long-term wellness and fulfillment in all areas of their lives, fostering a sense of self-worth, belonging, and hope for the future."

"My care philosophy centers around providing compassionate, individualized adult primary care that prioritizes the health and well-being of every patient. I believe in fostering a trusting relationship where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed decisions about their care. I am deeply passionate about providing gender-affirming healthcare, including hormone therapy, recognizing the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for individuals of all gender identities. My goal is to provide inclusive, respectful care that affirms each patient's unique experience, while addressing their physical, emotional, and mental health needs with empathy and expertise."

"It is my passion to serve the community in a positive and thoughtful way. I believe that the best medical treatment is attained through a team approach between the patient and his or her primary care provider. The team approach between patient and primary care provider includes patient visits, lifestyle modifications, medications, labs and screening exams when appropriate, special exams and referrals when necessary, and close and continuous follow-up with the medical team."
