I love my job and feel honored to do this work. I’ve been practicing psychiatry since 2010, and I’m still learning every day.

I'm a highly sensitive person (HSP) so I get it if you need ten hours of sleep. I experience climate distress so I understand if you’ve cried at the gas pump. I run anxious so I know what it’s like to watch your child bike away and think of all the ways they could die. I’m pretty witchy so I’m down with symbol, ritual, and mystery. I’ve done a lot of my own therapy so I recognize the courage it takes to change.

I strive to connect with everyone, across difference, with lots of humility. I continue to learn how systems of oppression impact us psychologically, and I seek to understand the specific ways each person is affected.

I am grateful to my teachers, friends, colleagues, mentors, and patients from Stanford, UCSF, San Mateo County Behavioral Health, San Francisco Jung Institute, and Baywell Psychiatry Group.
