Philosophy of Care
For child nutrition, providing a family-based approach to care is very important. I strive to assist parents in establishing positive approaches to feeding and nutrition problems while supporting a child's natural growth, health and well-being. Providing a positive experience for the whole family is the ultimate goal.
For adults, providing a patient centered approach to care, as well as collaborating closely with other medical and support staff involved in patient care is my goal.
