I practice the type of attentive and trauma-informed care that can be very challenging to find. It is a conscious choice of mine to provide care to communities that have been disproportionately affected by healthcare inequity. Given my unique background and experience, I feel a responsibility to serve groups and individuals whose needs are not widely recognized or understood.
I emphasize accountability and integrity in my work. I believe that each person has a right to dignity and respect, especially when they seek support around painful or difficult experiences. It's not enough to focus on just your symptoms; there has to be space in the treatment room for what matters to you.
Consultation, diagnosis, and treatment plans are highly personalized and centered around your priorities—the whole of who you are informs each part of treatment. When you are in my clinic, you are my focus. Whether you seek acute care or long-term management, I ask that you come to expect more from your medicine.

I grew up in a household that was deeply immersed in science-fiction literature and media. Watching sci-fi movies and TV series was a family activity that I recall with fondness. Rather than being just enjoyable explorations of fantastic worlds, these stories helped me frame the complexities of large sociopolitical structures and competing agendas.
Our company name is a direct reference to the uttering of a sage and mysterious figure at a critical moment in a major story arc: it is both its own warning of what might come to pass but also a recognition of the possibilities of this rich and storied life.
Thus, I do my work under the purview of the company that my mother started many years ago, both as a way of honoring her ongoing legacy and a demonstration of my own commitment to the long process of societal change. I am building on the foundation of those in my family and across many borders who have persistently advocated for engaged community, institutional integrity, and fierce compassion.
