Hello there, and welcome to my profile. My decision to work in this field was fueled by my observations of my mom's experiences with mental health treatment. As a result, I have strong compassion for people and I approach treatment differently. I am constantly looking for new and effective treatments that can be pleasant and enjoyable. I am a huge animal lover and I believe that animals enrich our lives and trigger our natural compassion for others. This is why I incorporate animals in my practice. There is nothing more uplifting than to be greeted by two wagging tails.
I believe that many therapeutic approaches should be offered to increase patient wellness. I offer: animal-assisted therapy, interactive metronome, and neurofeedback These approaches are quite effective, fun and are great for those who find it difficult to verbalize their feelings or those who find talk therapy challenging.
For convenience, I offer Video Conferencing Therapy and you don't have to be a computer geek to use this approach. Video conferencing is a great way for therapy to be accessible and it allows patients to attend sessions while away from home, have hectic schedules or are home bound.
