Care Philosophy: Hello humankindness.It's more than a tagline. Humankindness is one of the many things we all have in common. It's the good within us. The power that connects us. And at CommonSpirit Health, we fuse it into heartfelt healing, inspired innovation, and mindful medicine. It's in how we provide treatment and the way we treat patients. Our communities need caring, and our families need support. CommonSpirit Health is committed to building healthy communities by advocating for those who are poor and vulnerable, and innovating how and where healing can happen. Because the way care is provided is often as meaningful as the care itself.

Care Philosophy: I believe in listening to my patient. I acknowledge that they patient know their body better than anyone. Every patient is seeking and needs or wants something different, and needs or wants that in a way that fits with their view of their health. Together, the patient and I collaborate to form the working relationship: Is the patient more knowledgeable and self-directed? Or would they prefer I take the lead in outlining a care plan? Motivational interviewing for positive health behavior maintenance or change is my main approach to care.
