Summary

My goal is to address when completing this degree will enable me to design and implement community-based mental health outreach programs, particularly targeting vulnerable populations such as adolescents, veterans, and individuals experiencing homelessness. By integrating telepsychiatry services into my practice, I will also address geographic and logistical barriers to care. In the long term, I aim to contribute to policy development initiatives that expand access to mental health services and reduce stigma, informed by both my clinical experiences and evidence-based research.
