Depression and anxiety in the general population exists, but as women, we face additional challenges that can cause a significant impact on the mental and physical stability of ourselves and our families. As women, we often bear the burden as caretakers for our families and those around us, often neglecting our most precious gift…ourselves. As a board certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist, I bring knowledge, expertise and passion to the programs. The Women’s Empowerment workshops and retreats are designed for women who are, either struggling with where they are in their jobs, their homes, their relationships or even in their own skin. These programs provide unique strategies that will encourage women to relax and unwind and get in touch with their true selves, acknowledging their strengths and weaknesses, and building upon them. With this greater understanding, women will have access to knowledge that can and will enhance their lives at all levels, physically, mentally and spiritually, if they are willing to take on the journey.
