Banner Health Clinic

I enjoy working and partnering with my team of Gastroenterologists to diagnose and treat patients with complex digestive diseases and conditions in order to reduce their health risks an improve outcomes for diseases such as UC, IBD.

My philosophy of care mirrors nursing core values including practicing with integrity, caring, kindness, and respect for patients and their families. Exceeding expectations, making a difference in their lives and overall health.

My passion is helping people find their ability to take ownership of their health and develop patterns of a life well lived. There are many factors that determine good health; most of us struggle, to some extent, with those that are controllable: exercise, eating right, taking medications as prescribed, and other behavioral recommendations. The mind-body connection influences all aspects of our functioning, including mood and sleep. I am committed to delivering evidenced-based treatments, such as Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as mindfulness and acceptance-based therapies. My treatment approach is to treat the whole person, by identifying what is most important and breaking down barriers to get there.
