I am honored to become a part of Aldea’s
work.To be a
part of an organization that deeply values our clients is a
wonderful opportunity.My approach to psychiatry is grounded in the belief
that every individual has the capacity to develop and heal.I also believe that every individual has the right to
live in freedom from treatable suffering.
After studying political science, I
volunteered at a health clinic in Indonesia for a year
treating underserved girls and women.I decided to pursue a career in medicine at that
time.After
completing medical school at the Medical University of South
Carolina, I chose to specialize in psychiatry.I completed my psychiatry training at Stanford
University and stayed on as a clinical faculty member there
for a year before moving my practice to Napa.
My volunteer and career positions
include working with Cambodian refugees in a community
mental health clinic in San Jose, serving on faculty at
Stanford University’s Women’s Wellness Clinic where women
with mental illness were treated in pregnancy and
postpartum, and working in private practice over the past 7
years.
