Your Trusted Psychiatrist in San Mateo, CA
I am a board-certified psychiatrist serving the San Francisco Bay Area since 2009, offering both in-person and online video appointments. My practice is built on three core values: Caring, Comprehensive, and Confidential care. With specialized expertise in depression, anxiety, adult ADHD, Asian-American mental health, and spirituality's role in mental wellness, I provide personalized treatment combining medication management and psychotherapy. As an out-of-network provider, I prioritize patient autonomy and confidentiality, personally handling all aspects of care from scheduling to billing. My training at Northwestern University and board certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology ensure a foundation of clinical excellence.I maintain a solo private practice to preserve the integrity of the physician-patient relationship, offering tailored treatment plans that integrate evidence-based medications and therapeutic techniques. My commitment to comprehensive care extends to educating patients through resources like my blog and curated mental health materials. By maintaining direct control over all aspects of my practice, I ensure consistent, high-quality care that adapts to each patient's unique needs while maintaining strict confidentiality.
