Her experience includes treatment of major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, OCD, post-partum depression and various other mood and anxiety disorders. In her free time, she enjoys relaxing with her husband and two beautiful children, watching shows and movies on Disney+ and Netflix.
