2020 has been a year of deep reflection for me. I am actively educating myself on racial issues in health care and our community, so that I can do better for you, my clients, for my community and for my children.

I want you to know that you are welcome in this clinic. Your stories, pain, and journey are important and I acknowledge that my skin color has given me an experience of privilege that I may not even be aware of. I am committed to standing with you and beside you.

Here are some resources that have really touched my heart.
