Commitment to patient-centered care
"I am committed to providing client-centered care by ensuring clients and families are viewed as the experts in their lives and collaborating with them so they feel valued and in charge of their healthcare journey. My goal is to tailor treatment to the specific needs of the individual while taking into consideration personal, familial, systematic, and cultural factors that may influence care. I strive to help others find their voice, feel seen, and utilize their unique strengths."
