She highlights and explores affective disorders where disturbance of mood, or its expression, is the primary component. It is explored through a multigenerational and multicultural lens while acknowledging life patterns and significant life events thus leading to a shift from blame to change, empowerment, and growth. She has experience in many settings, including hospitals and secondary high schools, with people of all ages and from diverse backgrounds.
