Philosophy of care
“I advocate a goal-oriented, evidence-based and consumer conscious approach to patient evaluation and care that maximizes the involvement of patients and, when appropriate, their families and significant others. I value and encourage collaboration with colleagues, primary care physicians and other community professionals such as teachers, principals, attorneys and guardians ad litem. Therapeutic planning, consultation and intervention are individualized for each patient, and I make every attempt to integrate current research and evidence-based intervention methods, while maintaining strict ethics and confidentiality.”
