My Story

I became a psychiatrist to do exactly this.

My path to psychiatry was not a straight line — and I think that's part of what makes me a better doctor. Before medical school, I worked at Boston Medical Center supporting young children at the Grow Clinic, advocated for food-insecure families as a National Hunger Fellow, and spent time at the WHO in Geneva studying the social determinants of health.

I came into medicine already convinced that context matters — that who you are, where you live, and what you've been through shapes your mental health just as much as biology does.

"I started this practice in 2020 because I wanted more time to truly listen, more flexibility to treat the whole person, and a level of warmth that makes every patient feel like a partner in their own care."

I earned my medical degree from the University of Colorado School of Medicine — Presidential Scholar and Gold Humanism Award recipient — then completed my adult residency at the University of Chicago and child psychiatry fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital.

Outside the office, I value faith, family, and community. I love cooking, great films, live music, and staying active — the things that keep me grounded and fully present for the people who trust me with their care.

My Philosophy

You are the expert on your own life.
I'm here to help you navigate it.

Listen First

Every evaluation starts with listening — not to check boxes, but to understand your full story before I offer a single recommendation. You've lived this. I want to hear it.

Treat the Whole Person

Symptoms exist in context. Before medical school I worked in public health and saw firsthand how environment, access, and life circumstances shape wellbeing. That perspective informs everything I do clinically.

Build Real Partnership

You should always know why I'm recommending what I'm recommending. Informed patients make better decisions and better progress. My job is to give you clarity, not just a prescription.
