Summary

Growing up in Germany where I completed my medical training at the University of Heidelberg - and moving to the United States has taught me a great deal about adjusting to change. I have always been interested in the medical profession, and I pursued that dream at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), where I completed my internship and residency in psychiatry. I was an assistant professor of psychiatry at MUSC before I moved to Hawaii. I have lived and practiced psychiatry in several states. I particularly enjoy the extraordinary beauty of Washington state, which inspired me to relocate here.
