Shanti is a board-certified Physician Assistant with a passion for mental health and a commitment to providing compassionate, individualized care. She earned her Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Northern Arizona University, following a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychological Sciences.

Shanti has a background in urgent care and experience as a first responder, where she practiced meeting people with compassion, respect, and understanding. Combined with her background in psychology, these experiences have shaped her desire to work in mental health and support patients in achieving meaningful, lasting change. She strives to create an open, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where patients feel safe being themselves. She takes time to understand what matters most to each person, explores their goals and priorities, and uses education and clinical experience to help them move toward the life they want, regardless of gender, race, background, or circumstance.
