In my nearly 10 years of clinical experience, I have found utilizing a person-centered approach to treatment to be most effective. I believe we all have our own unique life and cultural experiences and strengths that we bring with us, and effective treatment should be individualized/tailored to the person, with consideration being given to those experiences. Gaining a better understanding of you, the challenges you are facing, and the goals and expectations you have for treatment will set the framework for determining the treatment approach that will be best suited to address your needs and help you achieve your established goals.

I am a big sports fan. Not only do I enjoy watching the most common major sports (basketball, football, baseball, and hockey), I also like watching some of the not-so-common sports such as cricket, field hockey, and rugby.

I practice gratitude. No matter what is going on in my day, whether it be good or bad, I make sure to remind myself of the good in my life. I think about how far I have come in life and the opportunity I have to be able to give back and help others just as others have given to help me get to where I am today.

I love to travel with my family. Being able to get away to explore new places and learn about different cultures with my family helps to rejuvenate me. I particularly enjoy when we go on long road trips and get to sight see and travel down new roads/highways that we haven't been on before.

I have two dogs; both with identity issues. My large dog, Lucky, thinks he is a small dog as he will try to jump up on me whenever I am sitting down to lay on my lap and cuddle. Marshall on the other hand, is my small dog but acts more like a cat. He likes to lay right on your chest or shoulders when you are siting down and tends to want to climb on everything.
