Psychiatry should —
And also fulfill the physician.
About Me
I was six months from completing my psychiatry residency at UCLA when I was diagnosed with stage IV lymphoma. I was 31. What followed — three years of chemotherapy, rebuilding my life from the ground up, and learning firsthand what it means to be a patient — changed everything about how I practice medicine.
I came out the other side with a deep conviction that the best psychiatry treats the whole person, not just the diagnosis. That science alone isn’t enough. And that the physicians doing this work deserve careers as meaningful as the work itself.
Today I run an integrative psychiatry practice in Los Angeles and mentor psychiatrists and PMHNPs across the country to build their own.
There are two primary ways I work with people:
Private Practice
Psychiatry Career Mentorship

What People Are Saying
"I have been a student of leadership for most of my adult life and I couldn’t agree with you more. Leaders act from a place of love and genuine concern. Leaders act (verb) rather than just talk about acting. Leaders model the way – they lead by example. We can all be leaders. You are most definitely a leader. Thank you for sharing your wisdom."
