Interests and Career Goals
I am passionate about patient-centered care and the integrative model of care. I have a strong interest in psychotherapy and how to link it with interventional psychiatry procedures. I am dedicated to working with underserved populations to increase access to mental health care, reduce cultural gaps in care, and tailor mental health interventions. I find consultation-liaison psychiatry fascinating, especially at the interface between psychiatry and other specialties. Additionally, I have been gaining knowledge in sports psychiatry and performance enhancement therapy.
