“I believe in treating you as an individual and not as your diagnosis. I have spent my entire life learning from westernized and cultural approaches to create a plan that is perfect for you. Not everyone is the same, so I have learned to adopt holistic, complementary, integrative, westernized, motivational counseling into my practice.
