The Journey
Behind the Practice

I’ve always believed the best care comes from seeing the whole person — their symptoms, yes, but also their story, system, and potential. That perspective has shaped my journey and continues to define how I practice psychiatry in San Diego today.

Leadership

Having led within complex systems, I understand how organizations impact individuals — and how individuals can thrive within systems.

“For me, psychiatry isn’t just about treating symptoms. It’s about helping people understand themselves more deeply, reclaim their choices, and move forward with clarity and strength. ”

Dr. Timothy M. Veal

Why I Do This Work

What ties all of these experiences together is a commitment to restoring agency. I’ve seen firsthand what it feels like when people lose their sense of control — and how transformative it can be when they regain it.

Find Strength.
Find Balance.

Today, I bring that perspective to my practice in San Diego, offering care that blends science, psychology, and humanity.
