About Us

My path to addiction medicine was not a straight line – it was shaped by what I saw, what I felt, and what I knew had to change.

I began my medical career in a hospital laboratory, where I developed a deep appreciation for the science behind patient care. But I quickly realized I needed to be closer to the people I was helping. That led me to the emergency room – one of medicine’s most demanding and eye-opening environments.

It was there that everything shifted.

Night after night I watched people in the grip of addiction arrive in crisis – often in pain, often afraid, and far too often treated without the dignity and compassion they deserved. I saw a system that responded to their physical emergency but left the deeper wound untreated. I knew I wanted to be part of changing that.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and my Master of Science in Nursing in 2017 and have dedicated my career to addiction medicine ever since. Over the years I have built extensive experience across both inpatient and outpatient settings, developing a clinical approach that is evidence-based, highly personalized, and rooted in genuine respect for every patient I work with.

I founded Lotus Addiction Recovery and Wellness Center because I believe that access to compassionate, stigma-free addiction care should not be the exception – it should be the standard. Here, there are no waiting lists designed to discourage you, no lectures, and no conditions attached to your care. Just honest, expert treatment from a provider who is genuinely invested in your recovery.

Whatever your story is and wherever you are in it, you deserve to be treated with empathy, dignity, and the highest quality of medical care. That is what Lotus is built on.
