About
Bio
My education, training, and experience made me endeavor to know and understand every patient. I value every patient and give them due respect and privacy. I practice open communication and active listening because it is the foundation of a mutually beneficial provider-patient relationship.
I look forward to helping every patient in their journey towards gaining mental stability and getting back more control in their lives. I take care of a variety of patients such as the elderly, adults, teenagers, and children. I also see patients with diverse backgrounds and situations, such as the differently abled, LGBTQIA2S+, and veterans.
