More than 25 years ago, I began my career in general medicine, caring for patients with a wide variety of health conditions. As the years passed, I found myself increasingly drawn to those struggling with emotional pain, trauma, anxiety, and mental illness. Eventually, my practice evolved entirely into psychiatry. I often say that I didn’t choose psychiatry—psychiatry chose me.

Since then, I have dedicated my career to helping adolescents and adults overcome challenges such as depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other complex psychiatric conditions.

My own life has taken me across Africa, Scotland, England, Russia, and the United States. Living and working in different cultures has profoundly shaped my understanding of mental health.

I have cared for people who believed mental illness was something to hide. I have met healthcare professionals who dismissed emotional suffering. I have seen the devastating effects of shame and stigma, and I know how lonely it can feel when you believe no one truly understands.

These experiences shaped the provider I am today. I listen with clinical expertise, compassion, empathy, and genuine respect. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to heal.
