“I pursued a career in psychiatry because I believe in the importance of whole-person care—addressing both mental and physical health with compassion and respect. I’m passionate about helping people better understand their symptoms and feel more in control of their health. My patients can expect a calm and supportive environment where we can work together to develop treatment plans that align with their needs and goals. I believe in listening first, educating when helpful, and partnering with patients every step of the way.”
