I was born and raised in Kansas City, MO. I  started my career in Mental Health back in 2011 as a Mental Health Technician at Truman Medical Center then ended up at Signature Psychiatric Hospital in the same position. I found out about TMS and was immediately intrigued. I trained as a TMS Technician at PAKC and worked there about a year. I am beyond excited to be back working with Dr. Handoo at Interpersonal Psychiatry using Brainsway Deep TMS!!!
