My Approach to Care
I adopt a holistic approach to mental health, addressing not only the psychological aspects but also the physical and emotional well-being of my patients. I believe in offering personalized, empathetic, and compassionate care that acknowledges each individual's uniqueness. My goal is to empower patients to overcome challenges and remind them that they are much more than their illness.
