Description

As a clinician, I approach patient care through a neuropsychological lens, guided by the belief that understanding the brain is only one part of understanding the person. My work centers on the deep connection between cognitive function, emotional life, and lived experience—recognizing that neurological disorders do not exist in isolation, but within the context of each patient’s cultural identity, family structure, and personal journey. Working with diverse populations has taught me that healing begins with listening—not just to symptoms, but to stories. Whether I’m conducting an assessment or developing a treatment plan, I strive to meet each individual where they are, honoring their values, beliefs, and resilience. This approach allows me to offer care that is not only evidence-based, but also empathetic, nuanced, and respectful of the whole person. In every patient encounter, I aim to bridge neuroscience with humanity—providing thoughtful, inclusive care.
