"My goals when providing care to my patients are to educate, empower, and interact. I strive to provide education on women's health, sexual health, and reproductive health. I want to empower my patients to feel comfortable being an advocate for themselves and take command of their bodies and the decisions that are made about them. I think honest and open communication and interaction is very important. I love when my patients ask questions, because that's the only way I can learn what they need to know. No judgements, just answers!"
