I am very passionate about providing care to those suffering from symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, depression, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, bipolar, and other mental disorders. It is important for me to listen to my patient and include their concerns and needs in the plan of care. I started my own business in order to be able to spend time getting to know my patients and not have someone dictating how much time I can spend with a patient. My goal is to assist my patients in ways to improve their mental wellbeing and have a more fulfilling life through medication management and a limited amount of counseling.
