A graduate of Mayo Medical School, I completed my internship at Stanford (Pediatrics), my residencies (Radiology and Psychiatry) respectively at The University of California, San Diego and The University of Arizona, and fellowships (Psychoanalytic  and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry) respectively, through The American Psychoanalytic Association and The University of Arizona. I have 2 undergraduate BS degrees, one in science, and one in organizational health; both with high honors.

My unique dual-specialty background in Psychiatry and Diagnostic Radiology provides a rare "macro-to-micro" perspective on healthcare delivery—combining the in-depth cross-specialty knowledge of diagnostics, with the deep understanding of people from behavioral health. Additionally, my fellowships in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis provide insight into the internal and external motivations of individuals, and how these dynamics impact families and organizations.
