I practice a collaborative, patient-centered approach to care that prioritizes open communication, shared decision-making and respect for each patient’s values, preferences and needs. I believe that optimal outcomes are achieved when patients are treated as active participants in their care, and when healthcare professionals work together seamlessly.
To ensure this, I engage as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers and other healthcare professionals to create and implement individualized care plans. I develop holistic and comprehensive care strategies. I strive to ensure compassion with care to all patients.
My goal is always to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers patients and supports their overall well-being.
I’m a proud Denver native with deep roots in the community and a strong appreciation for family and the outdoors. I’ve been happily married for 23 years, and together my spouse and I raised our amazing kids. I’m very involved in their lives and truly enjoy spending quality time with them and their significant others, whether we’re hiking, walking, camping or simply relaxing together in the backyard. We can’t forget our lovable Great Danes, who keep us entertained and active. I find joy and balance in being outdoors, and Colorado’s natural beauty makes it easy to stay connected to nature and to each other.
