My Story

I was born in Santa Barbara, California. After high school, I moved to the Midwest to complete the 6 year accelerated BA/MD program at University of Missouri Kansas City. I completed three years of residency training at Banner Good Samaritan in Phoenix, Arizona and a final year of training at University of Kansas Medical Center.

​

Psychiatry spoke to me on several levels. I enjoy the aspect of providing healthcare and guidance through the formative years of someone’s childhood and throughout the entirety of their lives.  I value forging bonds between my patients and patients’ families to build a sense of trust and comfort. I feel as though through open communication, creative problem-solving, and patient education, we can work together to build a strong therapeutic relationship.

​

I feel very lucky to be able to do what I do. There is an undeniable humanity and compassion in Psychiatry that continues to inspire me to be a better observer, physician and person.
