Introduction
Hello! I’m a psychiatrist in the San Francisco South Bay Area. I pursued a career in medicine due to my genuine love for people and wanting to help alleviate sources of their pain. I ultimately chose the field of psychiatry for a multitude of reasons, but there are two that stand out in my mind. The first being my discovery that my mother had post-traumatic stress disorder in medical school, followed by her sudden death a couple of months later. The second being my exposure to preventative health care and the power of behavioral health interventions from my public health master’s program. My thesis focused on intimate partner violence. Though, upon returning to medical school to complete my last year, I began to pursue research and advocacy works for bereaved medical trainees… an intricately different type of trauma, yet with similar themes to my previous work. While in psychiatric training, my interests have expanded to psychotherapy, as I love the duality of concrete medicine and nebulous psychology. I’ve found that utilizing them both in practice can be extremely powerful for clients.
