My story
Growing up, I was always fascinated by the concept of the brain and its capabilities. An interest in no small part inspired by being the son of a psychiatrist and a psychologist. A second factor that pulled me to this field was learning while growing up about the positive impact on the lives of people who came for treatment. This led me to choose medical school followed by my post-graduation in psychiatry. Over the course of the years since then, I have had the opportunity to work with a lot of individuals across all age groups and backgrounds with a variety of problems and help make a difference in their lives.
