Committed to ongoing professional growth, Rachael stays informed on the latest advancements in psychiatric care and explores evidence-based holistic strategies to enhance treatment. She views optimal wellness as a balance of body, mind, and spirit through the utilization of lifestyle modification strategies. She incorporates mindfulness practices into both her professional and personal life, recognizing their value in promoting mental well-being.
