“Coming back to serve this community – my community – has been a dream. My husband was born and raised here on Kaua’I, and this is our home. I wanted to join a practice that truly cares about people of Kaua’i and I am so honored to be part of HHSC Kauai Region.
Even though my specialty is psychiatry, I believe that mental health and physical health are deeply connected – you can’t fully address one without the other. That is why I am excited to work alongside like-minded providers at HHSC who are committed to whole-person care. My goal is to help people feel safe, supported, and well – at every age and stage of life.”
