Family medicine was the right path for me because I enjoy educating patients and guiding them to make informed decisions about their own health and wellness. \n I have a special interest in counseling patients with behavioral health concerns or substance dependence. Many of my patients choose me for that reason. \n When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my nieces and nephews; taking my dog, Winnie, to the park; reading; and browsing the aisles of any bookstore.
