Well Life Psychiatry

After settling into my career as a psychiatrist, I began to feel a disconnection between my personal values of wellness and health with the conventional practice of psychiatry. I am a fitness enthusiast and wellness obsessed so I believe healthcare should be about so much more than prescribing medication for symptoms. I believe the mind-body connection is overlooked in our conventional medical model. I believe that symptoms should be used as information and is our bodies way of telling us something is wrong. I believe we all have more power to heal our minds and bodies than we realize with the choices we make every day. Our current culture and way of life is making many people very sick. Professionally, I feel called to use my knowledge of medicine and passion for wellness to empower others to live their best life, a well life.
