Background

I am licensed and board certified in psychiatry and neurology and am excited to join Serenity Mental Health Center’s clinical team as a seasoned psychiatrist with 5 years experience. After earning my medical degree at University of Arizona College in 2015, I then completed my residency at Creighton University School of Medicine and Maricopa Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona. Since 2017 I have worked at Aurora Behavioral Health Services and gained valuable clinical experience through my time there.

My Care Philosophy

I believe in making sure the patients and parents feel heard so that we can work collaboratively on the best, most evidence-based treatment for themselves or their children. No two people are alike, and everyone brings a unique experience and perspective that must be considered and addressed. I hold in high regard and respect the trust that a person has sharing their life experiences and strive to make my office a safe and comfortable space for those of all ages and backgrounds.

Why I Chose Mental Health

I love giving patients the opportunity to feel heard and understood. My goal is to be a helper in whatever way I can, and having even a small part in assisting them towards the wellness they desire is incredibly satisfying for me. I believe that everyone has value, and should feel that in their life.

Why Serenity

Everyone at Serenity has caring for the patient as their number one priority. Everything from the decor to the staff and the variety of state-of-the-art treatment options is designed to optimize the patient experience. After seeing the clinic, I knew I wanted to be a part of the Serenity team. I am immensely grateful for the caring and collaborative culture that is fostered here.

Interests & Activities

I was born in Utah (where Serenity’s corporate office is) and raised not far from the Gilbert Clinic! I have been blessed to do all my education and training in the greater Phoenix area. I am very invested in the care of all those who, like me, call Arizona home. Outside of work, I love being active, exercising, sports, camping, and going on vacations with my family. I am married to the love of my life and we have two amazing young boys.
