- ABOUT -

Category(ies): Family Medicine | Physician

I’m a family physician, entrepreneur, and certified coach. I am a San Antonio native where I live with my husband and our 4 children. I attended medical school in Houston, completed my residency training in Corpus Christi, and later received an MBA from the University of Texas at Dallas. I received my coaching certification from the Physician Coaching Institute in 2021.

Coaching has been life-changing for me over the past 10 years. Working with a coach has enabled me to move from a frustrated new mom physician, who sought validation and didn’t prioritize self-care, to a thriving, purposeful, empowered woman and leader. I founded The Purposeful MD in 2021 with the mission to help other physicians create the lives they love without guilt.

My other joys in life are my family, travel, camping, reading, writing, being outdoors, and running/ triathlon.

I Don’t Want to Be a Resilient Physician

Healthcare tells physicians to become more resilient. But what if bouncing back is the wrong goal? One physician argues for empathy, mastery, humility, and growth instead.

You Were a Person Before You Became a Physician

Medicine can become so intertwined with identity that physicians forget who they are outside it. What parts of your life belong entirely to you?

The Most Highly Trained Person in the Room May No Longer Be the One in Charge

Physicians remain medicine’s clinical experts, yet many have lost authority over how care is delivered. What happened to physician autonomy, agency, and leverage?
