Diverse clinical experiences in academic and community settings, safety-net hospitals, for-profit healthcare systems, Department of Mental Health facilities, Veterans Affairs medical centers, community health centers.

I previously served as the Director of the Rapid Access Psychiatry Clinic at MGH and the inaugural Medical Director at Vinfen Community Behavioral Health Center through the MGH's Visiting Program. In these diverse leadership roles, I collaborated with exceptional teams to develop and expand programs to enhance access to care and improve the quality of services for complex and underserved populations. I also provided the oversight and mentorship in implementing the state behavioral roadmap. 

During my clinical training, I was awarded the Early Career Psychiatrist Fellowship by the World Psychiatric Association for my work at the Boston Center for Refugee Health and Human Rights. Over the last ten years, I have specialized in providing trauma-informed care with cultural humility at its core. My background in integrative psychiatry, yogic psychology, and interest in Ayurveda also inform my clinical approach. This enables me to forge meaningful connections with my patients, embracing their diverse experiences and fostering a genuine sense of understanding and partnership.
