Our Team

Understanding the brain and how it influences our thoughts, emotions and behaviour helps us heal from within. I work with clients and their support system to help them take charge and adopt behaviours for their brain health and emotional well-being. UBHC is my effort to make rehabilitative care for the brain and emotional well-being available, affordable and accessible while not compromising on the global standards of quality.
