Care philosophy

I approach each patient as a whole person, taking time to understand their story, goals and the challenges that bring them to care. I review their history and previous treatments to build a collaborative, realistic plan that promotes meaningful progress. With patient consent, I encourage family involvement and ongoing communication with the care team to ensure coordination and support. I strive to provide compassionate, solution-focused care that offers hope and helps patients find new perspectives, even in moments of uncertainty.
