Approach to Care
Nadia’s passion for helping others began early, leading her to a career in nursing that blends her love of science and service.

She educates patients on the science of psychiatric symptoms, emphasizing that the brain, like any organ, requires proper care—just as we cannot will the pancreas to produce insulin, we cannot will away depression. This approach helps patients embrace treatment without shame.
