I started my career in the inpatient & outpatient psychiatric setting. Overtime, I enhanced my skill set by working in the outpatient setting, providing psychiatric evaluations in the emergency room /medical floors, and community engagement.
I am passionate about helping others find peace within themselves, navigate difficult life experiences, and focus on a holistic approach to your version of wellness.I primarily focus on a CBT, strength based, and person centered approach.
