As a Physician Assistant who has worked in adult outpatient psychiatry for more than five years, a core value of my practice has been to ensure people feel safe, heard, and respected. Collaboration between my patients and I, but also the additional members of their support teams, has helped build rapport and trust as we navigate the journey towards better health. My goal is not only to offer professional care but also to ensure that all clients of all identities can feel comfortable and supported in being their true, authentic selves. When I’m not working, I enjoy staying true to my own authentic self through hobbies like gaming, reading, attending nerdy conventions, cosplaying, and attending the Renaissance Festival.
