I’m most passionate about helping people get unstuck and unburdened. By combining both a therapeutic approach and medications, there is a unique opportunity to accelerate growth and transformation to overcome the obstacles that are in your way. 

Prior to this career, mental health was an enigma to me. I had the natural desire to want to heal wounds and honestly just make people smile, but I didn’t grow up in a time, place, or culture where I had access to the language and tools to describe what was happening in my own emotional world as life brought challenges and hardship. 

Originally, I went to medical school to pursue a career in surgery and intensive care. However, in medical training, I couldn’t help but lean and then dive into self-discovery. The pull of the mental health profession was unyielding force that opened my eyes to a healing process that could use all pars of me: science, psychology, and spirituality. 

My clinical mission as a board-certified psychiatrist in the silicon valley area is to provide guidance and expertise for how medications can improve life and enhance the therapeutic process in a tech-heavy culture of high external achievement and productivity.
