The most rewarding part of my work in ophthalmology is when patients no longer need my care and can resume their daily activities. It is gratifying to help people better interact with the world around them. I provide care tailored to each patient's needs and communication style. I ensure patients understand their diagnosis so that we can develop the best care plan together. I provide clear explanations and spend time discussing their concerns. I also extend care beyond the patient to their family members. I encourage questions and collaboration, recognizing that families know their home dynamics best. Outside work, I love exploring new places, whether on a trail or in a diner, and discovering hidden gems. I'm always eager for patients to share their favorite spots!

Pain is both an emotional and physical experience. It's a life problem often impacting how we feel, think, and behave. Pain can lead to, or worsen: Depression Anxiety Fear of movement/activity Sleep issues Difficulties with concentration and attention Pain psychology treatment can help to improve these symptoms. While patients may not be able to control their pain 100 percent, they can learn new tools to gain more control over pain and how it impacts their lives. I work with patients to help them better understand their symptoms and how pain works in the brain. We will work together to create a personalized treatment plan based on your values and goals. Treatment focuses on: Improving quality of life Increasing engagement in activity Decreasing distress Pain can be an invisible experience, leaving us feeling alone and losing hope that things can improve. The most rewarding thing about my work is when patients share that they feel understood, their symptoms have improved, and pain has less of a hold on their lives.
