I am currently a 3rd year resident at the University of Missouri Kansas City pursuing my board certification in psychiatry. My interests over the years have focused on treatment resident depression and post-traumatic stress. Starting July 1st, I will be promoted to Chief Resident. I have been exploring academic opportunities in specialized treatment modalities such as interventional pain management, psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy and ketamine assisted therapy. With regards to my presentation, exercise has played an integral part in my life, both as it pertained to training for varsity soccer in high school and as an ever-present part of my daily/weekly stress management routine. I have had great success in improving my own sense of wellness and have a strong passion for teaching others evidence-based approaches to coping with stress/anxiety/depression and the daily struggles of life through a solid foundation in fitness.
