Philosophy:
Historically, healthcare services have focused on providing reactive acute illness and injury care. This model of care offers diagnosis and treatment for cure of a specific symptom or injury within a timed visit to a passive recipient of care. Unfortunately, this one-size fits all type of healthcare leaves many with unheard and/or unmet needs, missed preventive care services and opportunities to identify and modify health risks, and inadequate chronic condition care and support. I aspire to aspire to help women bridge this healthcare gap by listening and attending to what is important to them about their health and wellbeing.This personalized approach to care fosters the building of therapeutic partnerships which, in turn, promotes personal empowerment and sustained healthier lifestyle choices.
