My Idea of Care

My credo is “People everywhere deserve the chance to turn their lives around.” I intend to support this in my daily work with clients who are recovering from substance use disorders. I strive to offer nonjudgmental holistic care centered on the patient.

I will build trust by listening to my patient’s story and partnering with them to develop the tools and resources they need to stay in recovery. I also want to reduce the stigma of addiction in the community through educational outreach because a community of support creates a better tomorrow for everyone.
