About me

I am a physician trained in allopathic medicine (MD) that currently resides in the bay area of northern California.  I received my medical degree from the University of Toledo College of Medicine and then studied Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) at The Ohio State University.  I have always been interested in studying and expanding the promotion of health beyond what is offered with medications.  My interest in PM&R was fueled by the inherently integrative approach to the specialty and its willingness to embrace multiple paths to healing beyond just medication or surgical means.  Recently I have completed certification process in mind body medicine through the Centers for Mind Body Medicine and working on local program development.  This page was inspired by a desire to teach and provide a collection of material that can start to inspire true healing.  

In addition to an interest in medicine and healing I have had an intense interest in philosophy and spirituality which has influenced my approach to healing immensely.  

The stories, meditations, and resources on this site are designed to encourage us to ask the big questions in life that can help lead us to deep healing and understandings.
