Aloha, I am a board-certified psychiatrist and passionate about holistic, community-based care. I was previously a medical director at a VA psychosocial rehabilitation and recovery center and loved that providers of many different specialties came together to help the patients.

In my personal life I enjoy raising my family of four daughters, four dogs, and five cats. I love music, dancing, acting, art, reading, traveling, and being surrounded by nature.
