While working in a German Neuroscience/Anatomy setting overseas, I was introduced to human medicine. I chose to pursue the hands on approach to relieve human suffering. My approach to care is straightforward: Encourage and empower patients to make necessary changes to improve their own quality of life. My goal is to help patients negotiate an increasing complex healthcare world. I am a firm believer that the world would be a better place with a song, home-cooked food, well-written poetry and a good run. My heat beats faster around performing music, using voice, guitar and piano skills. I enjoy spending time staying physically active in sports with my two growing sons.
