I create a warm and welcoming environment as i am passionate about reducing the stigma in mental health and empowering my patients to actively participate in their care.

Mary is there to listen & not judge. She looks to find solutions to any problems & asks questions to understand what the problem may be if I feel I’m not expressing what my exact issue is.

Mary always takes my concerns seriously and makes it easy for me to advocate for myself. She provides solutions to my issues and includes my thoughts on previous medications as to what might work best.
