Why I Work at ICHS:

Treat patients with the best care like I would want to be treated.

Why I Work at ICHS:
The organization has an incredible history rooted in community organizing and advocacy, and it is a great honor to provide comprehensive primary care to clients at ICHS. I look forward to supporting each client on their unique healthcare journey.
Patient Care Philosophy:
I respect my clients and their bodily autonomy, and this is a core tenet of how I seek to provide care. It can be disempowering and disembodying to be in healthcare settings as a patient. As such during each visit I strive to provide a fusion of trauma-informed care, shared decision-making, patient-centered care, and principles of harm reduction.
Interesting Note About Myself:
I’m passionate about all topics related to sexuality and sexual health, and am excited to integrate these into my practice.

Patient Care Philosophy:
I believe that developing a trusting caring relationship is the key to providing holistic, culturally competent, patient centered care. My goal is to work as a team between myself, the patient and their family to help them achieve their ultimate health and wellness goals.
