My path didn’t start with my clinic—it started when I was a child, watching my family unravel under the weight of poverty, pain, and silence. At seven years old, I made a vow: “The violence stops with me.” That moment made me a pathmaker first for myself—and later for the people I serve.

Over the next 25+ years, I became not just a doctor, but a pain specialist, hypnotherapist, anesthesiologist and patient myself. I’ve sat on both sides of the exam room. I’ve seen how unspoken trauma, culture, and physiology shape pain—and how the system too often misses the full picture.

The result? I don’t just treat symptoms—I help women see the whole picture, connect the dots, and find a path forward that honors both science and lived experience.

And because no single woman’s journey looks the same, I’ve dedicated my work to creating pathways, stories, and tools that women can use to navigate their health with clarity and strength.
