The most common feedback I get from patients is gratitude for “really listening.” I think that properly understanding your experience is fundamental to providing effective care. I will work with you collaboratively and respectfully to improve your emotional well-being. Together, we will clarify your personal goals, and work towards reaching them. This process will consider the broader scope of your life experiences (biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual context) and help you move forward in your life.
