I have always been drawn to big questions—about the human condition, the workings of the universe, and how everything is connected. This curiosity led me to study both philosophy and genetics at Rutgers University. Philosophy opened a door to metaphysical and existential explorations, while genetics grounded me in the concrete, the scientifically knowable.

As I was completing New Jersey Medical School, Psychiatry felt like a natural next step. It’s a field that cuts through the noise of superficial existence and invites real, meaningful connection. It allows for the merging of science and personal story. It promotes healing through the therapeutic relationship. 

Once I completed my psychiatric residency training at Temple University, I had the fortune of working with diverse patient populations in community, hospital, prison, and finally my own practice settings. The common thread of suffering within the human condition permeated them all. To this day, it is incredibly humbling to have the opportunities to connect with individuals and promote their healing.

During my free time, I enjoy practicing yoga, meditating, spending time outdoors, reading both physical and audio books, listening to podcasts, and cooking. I love science fiction, philosophy, mysticism, and layman’s theoretical physics. I am a wife and mother.
