About Our Practice

Our Medical Director grew up in the Bay Area of California and attended UCLA, where volunteer work with the UCLA Mobile Clinic—serving unhoused and underserved individuals—sparked a deep commitment to healthcare advocacy. This experience made clear that the most meaningful way to support people was through medicine, giving voice to their struggles and working to address healthcare inequities.

During medical training, experiences caring for patients facing difficult circumstances revealed how trauma and lack of access to comprehensive care can profoundly impact a person's life trajectory. These insights led to a focus on trauma-informed care and understanding how to address root causes of suffering rather than symptoms alone—a perspective that naturally evolved into integrative psychiatry and ketamine-assisted therapy.

The guiding philosophy is simple: "Everyone deserves the support to continue their life trajectory in the way they desire." This patient-centered approach, combined with specialized training in integrative mental health, enables comprehensive care for those who have not found relief through conventional treatments.

Outside the clinic, our Medical Director enjoys cooking, traveling, spending time with friends, being outdoors, and going for hikes—practices that reflect the mind-body connection central to their approach to healing.
