“I hope to provide a space for patients to play an active, informed role in their treatment.”
What was your path to becoming a Medical Doctor?
Throughout my training, I have sought to work closely with behavioral and psychodynamic therapists, and as a result, I have an understanding of the many tools available to help patients outside of medications. As an undergraduate, I studied art, and although I don't incorporate art therapy into my work as a clinician, my studies outside of medicine have helped me understand the importance of a good work-life balance and the ways that carving out time for mindful activities can enhance mood, energy, and self-esteem.
What should someone know about working with you?
I hope to provide a space for patients to play an active, informed role in their treatment. I want to understand any questions or apprehensions that people may have about taking psychiatric medications to help folks make comfortable, enthusiastic, and informed decisions about their treatment plans.
