I started my career at 18 years of age while on active duty in U.S. Navy health care, consisting of working with many specialties and serving others with a passion in pharmacology education. There I learned the impact of medications for the various disease states working at an acute care clinic as a medical/acute care technician and paramedic. While stationed in San Diego I worked with four Navy's civilian doctors and all walks of life from the West Coast and all over the world. I discovered the commonality of care and empathy and respect in helping others heal. I am passionate about helping people and give maximum time to understanding their needs based on my experience and wisdom. I provide excellent analysis of lifestyle, behavior, medication And behavioral health history. The care plans we established together will be structured well to make it a step-by-step process and easy-to-follow plan that will make an appreciable difference sooner rather than later for most. I adapt counseling and medications to meet the needs of my client base where I receive excellent feedback and extreme appreciation about what we accomplish every day together.
In our first session we'll learn more about what the background of your medical and mental health history has been, how you have overcome challenges it may have brought you and work together to establish a treatment plan. You will know exactly what it will take to feel better sooner rather than later and how long it make be before your symptoms will improve.
My biggest strengths are educating others with the ability to break it down into understandable elements. The genuine care I demonstrate with a rare critical thinking ability will surprise most people, putting them at ease about a difficult situation. Putting someone in the best light to succeed with a positive and can-do attitude that is real and not off-putting, is extremely rewarding to those who have had a difficult path to arrive where they're at- and with the power to relate I'll meet you there and I assure you will feel much better before you know it!

Even the smallest change can be really difficult to make for anybody. We will find what the possibilities and outcomes could be if we can figure out what steps could be easily taken that will take us to the next level of feeling better. We will inspire each other with how we work to achieve our goals we set together.
