Summary

• Dedicated PGY4 Psychiatry resident at Lehigh Valley Health Network with plans to begin moonlighting and then relocate to New York, NY in June 2025.
  I earned my MD from St. George's University School of Medicine in 2020, following a BA in Neuroscience and Psychology from Boston University.
  
  I've presented at national conferences and published multiple papers in peer-reviewed journals. Recently, I was honored with the Excellence in Psychotherapy and Scholarly Activity Awards from Lehigh Valley Health Network.
  
  My research interests span psychosomatic medicine and trauma-informed care, while my treatment focus involves managing substance dependence and psychiatric drug tapering. My overall approach largely incorporates therapy.
  
  I explore the mind-body connection, integrating knowledge of medicine with a deep understanding of spiritual perspectives on mental health.
  
  As a Christian medical provider, I endeavor to emphasize biblical wisdom, though I'm committed to providing compassionate, personalized care to all patients, regardless of faith or background. I believe in tailoring treatment to each individual's current needs and preferences, incorporating professional counseling methods while offering faith-based guidance in Christ for those who desire it.
