I came to the field of psychiatry circuitously. For almost as long as I wanted to pursue medicine, I thought my future would be in Oncology. At an early age, I remember visiting my mother’s clinic, where she worked as an Oncology Nurse, and helping her interact with her patients and holding their hands gently during infusion sessions. I would sit with her, mesmerized, and imagining a future using similar techniques heal illnesses of the body. I naturally gravitated toward the study of the human mind and behavior.

What's missing from typical psychiatric care? * Care is typically boiled down to diagnositic categories while bypassing confounding personal issues * Clinicians tend to focus on the patient separated from the rest of his or her life. * Care is available only on a schedule. * Care is delivered by someone whose experience and interest covers only part of a problem. -- Mental health conditions don't exist in isolation. They are generally complicated by interpersonal issues involving relationships, family, school, or employment. They may require psychotherapy, medication, or both. My practice consists of psychotherapy, medication as needed, and medical consultation as appropriate
