I prioritize progress, not perfection. Your treatment will be person-centered tailored to your unique identity. I believe in a “meet you where you’re at” approach that is why I pride myself in continued education so I am flexible enough to meet the needs of all my patients. I show up as my authentic self so that my patients are comfortable to be themselves as well. I aim to be genuine while fostering a space of comfort, humor, empathy, and growth.”
