Great to meet you!

I have decided to DEDICATE my life to advance the psychiatric profession and lead the way for the future workforce of the mental healthcare system. I strive to create strong and innovative initiatives by creating and implementing different process flows and access to care treatment options that help guide the way into a New Era of mental wellness and healing.

MY PRACTICE

Passionate, relaxed, driven, innovative, assiduous, compassionate, understanding, respectful, hopeful, and encouraging mental health advocate and leader, intentional, thoughtful, openminded. I offer hope in client’s and family's lives, when all hope for them seems to be lost. Holistic provider mind, body, and soul &GENETICS!

A bit about my approach to therapy

My practices are safe and supported by evidence- based research. By meeting clients and families where they are at, we can create a plan of care that may include medication management. Most importantly, I believe in comfort, so when anyone needing help finds my office, they have a safe place to go to when they feel healing is needed.
