My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that all humans are equal and should be treated with respect and dignity irrespective of their backgrounds and beliefs. I strongly believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives, it is never too late, there is always greater tomorrow. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are beyond our control, but the good news is: mental health is treatable with and without medication, we just have to put stigma aside and handle it as any other body system dysfunction. My personal experience with siblings who suffered from severe mental health has helped me to understand the best approach to helping clients. This is my opportunity to do right what was done wrong with my siblings. I do not judge or discriminate against anyoneI welcome all individuals to my practice.
