[person:personal_statement]
My practice is driven by two core social work values: recognizing the dignity and worth of each person and emphasizing the importance of human relationships. I approach each patient holistically with consideration of their unique family systems to better understand their quality of life goals. My intention is to create a safe, supportive environment for open and honest communication among providers and families to make shared medical decisions that will address these goals. It is my privilege to walk alongside patients and families in times of sorrow, joy, and gratitude.
Intereses Clinicos
Shared decision-making, infant loss, grief and bereavement, and assessing goals of care.
