I'm a Canadian psychiatrist in private practice in Victoria, BC. I previously worked as family physician at a refugee clinic in Vancouver, BC for ten years. I received my MD from the University of British Columbia and my residency training in family medicine from UBC at St. Paul's Hospital in downtown Vancouver. In 2018 I completed my Master of Public Health degree at UBC. I recently completed my residency training in psychiatry at UBC, and achieved my FRCPC certification.

My book about the decade I spent working at the refugee clinic was published by Brindle & Glass in 2017.

For my psychiatry residency scholarly project, I launched Pacific Bibliotherapy, an effort to review, organize and disseminate recommended reading for psychiatry patients and their families.
