Summary
My biggest fear professionally has always been to work at a job and go home each day uninspired. My clinical experience has been vast and I am dedicated to providing only quality and evidence based therapy. I have extensive history with the business aspects of running private practices as well as working in team settings with other healthcare professionals. I believe in the importance of not just marketing, but with establishing personal relationships with physicians and referral sources. I very much enjoy working with young clinicians and with assisting in the development of strong clinical skills and decision making. I am intrinsically driven, passionate about treating clients with neurological disease and always striving to continue to expand and strengthen my clinical and interpersonal skills.
