Meet Our Team- Okeechobee

 I am passionate about modern healing techniques and thorough diagnostic evaluation. Dedicated to providing personalized care, I strive to empower individuals on their journey to mental well-being through understanding of their conditions and giving tools that would heal.

 My goal is to help patients understand their illness and manage their mental health effectively with a keen focus on destigmatizing mental illness. I advocate for increased awareness and access to mental health services.

 I believe that mental health care should be holistic, addressing not only the symptoms of illness but also the underlying emotional and social factors contributing to distress. I empower my patients to embark on their journey towards healing and recovery.

 I can be a tool of healing through empathic listening and using medications when absolutely needed after thoughtful consideration. I will guide you appropriately through higher levels of care when needed such as IOP or PHP. 

 I treat through empathic listening and truly understanding the nature of emotional chaos. My approach to care is personalized and adaptable.   

 I view health through mind-body-spirit lens, recognizing that true healing involves nurturing every aspect of a person. I believe in building strong partnerships with my patients, encouraging them to actively participate in their care journey. Understanding that healing often goes beyond medication.
