“I began my private practice with one simple, human reason: to truly show up for people. After years working in hospitals, public health, and institutional settings, I saw how the system often rushed care, overlooked complexity, and left patients feeling unheard. I wanted to create a space where people didn’t feel like a diagnosis—but like a whole person. My practice is rooted in that intention: to offer thoughtful, unhurried, relationship-based care that meets people where they are, and walks with them toward where they hope to be.”
EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS
-
My journey into medicine began with a deep curiosity about how the body and mind connect. At Stanford, I studied biological sciences with a fascination for biochemistry and human behavior, but it was clear early on—my calling was people, not just pathology. Earning my M.D. from Temple University as a four-year Alumni Scholar, I trained in family medicine and geriatrics—learning to care for individuals across the lifespan.
