I am a Family Physician who specializes in career and life coaching for early career physicians around contract negotiations, burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, communication, time management, and work-life balance. I practice both inpatient and outpatient medicine in southern California and live there with my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter.
My mission is to empower early career physicians to step into your true selves, embrace your potential, and confidently show up in your lives like never before. Together, we can navigate the complexities of the medical profession, ensuring that you not only succeed but also find profound joy and fulfillment in your journey.
