My goal is to contribute meaningfully to our understanding of these promising therapies. I joined Sunstone because their values of 'act with love' and 'work and think with rigor' resonate with me, professionally and personally.

Role

I am the psychiatrist on a multidisciplinary team. This team is experienced in clinical research, clinical care, and psychedelics. We work together to provide the best care and experience for the people who enter our center.

Inspiration

My inspiration for this work are my family members, friends, colleagues, and patients who may benefit from these promising therapies.
