I am an Ivy-League educated and board-certified surgeon who specialized for many years in traumatic injuries, severe burns, and critical care. Witnessing extreme human suffering and the limitations of mainstream mental health led me to explore alternative paths for healing psychological wounds. I obtained a master’s in social work and professional training to practice psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. I now guide people through healing journeys of self-discovery and provide medical support for select high-end therapists in the Bay Area, including Diana Halfmann, LMFT.
I embrace the sacred nature of this work, beyond medicine and therapy.
