Medical Director - Psychedelic Medicine

"I believe that healing is possible, and my goal is to help all those in my care to find their path to a healthier and more fulfilled life."

About Me

I have been practicing family medicine here in North Bay since 2017. My practice was initially focused on community and inpatient medical care, however over the last 5 years I have found myself more and more drawn to explore the interplay between mental, physical and societal health. This exploration has led me to the study of Internal Family Systems therapy, psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and integrative/spiritual approaches to care, aspects of which I bring into my medical psychotherapy and family medicine practice. I am excited to bring my passion for holistic, compassionate care to the role of Medical Director for psychedelic medicine at Bay Psychology. As Medical Director, it is my role to support the amazing team here at Bay Psychology in the safe, effective and evidence-based use of psychedelic medicine. Psychedelic medicines can be potent catalysts for change, and I believe that in the right setting they can serve as powerful tools to empower individuals, groups and communities to move towards integration and healing.
