The choices I’ve made when seeking care, have been some of the most impactful of my life. While I have a lot of fancy letters after my last name, I believe the greatest credential I posses as a health provider is my own lived experience. I have walked through the fire and am not afraid of joining with you in your experience.
I look forward to knowing you.
