About Me

I enjoy working with adults, teen and families who have communication problems and need guidance to recognize cognitive disorders.

I am an active listener and try to find common ground so patients feel heard and understood. Empathy is primary.

Exercise, outdoor activities like hiking, spending time with my kids and family.
What is your advice for your patients?
To challenge their thoughts more vigorously and to recognize that discomfort does not equal danger.
