Board-Certified Psychiatrist in San Mateo
I am a board-certified psychiatrist serving San Francisco Bay Area patients since 2009. My practice is built on three core values: Caring, Comprehensive, and Confidential care. I offer both in-person and online video appointments, combining psychiatric medication management with personalized talk therapy. My clinical expertise spans depression, anxiety, adult ADHD, Asian-American mental health, and spirituality's role in mental health. I graduated from Northwestern University's Honors Program in Medical Education and completed my psychiatry residency at Northwestern University, ranked 15th nationally. I am certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and have maintained solo private practice since 2009.My approach emphasizes strong physician-patient relationships, evidence-based treatments, and complete confidentiality. I personally handle all patient communications and administrative tasks to maintain privacy. I provide tailored treatment plans integrating various psychotherapeutic techniques and medication strategies. My practice accepts new patients and offers free 15-minute consultations to determine treatment compatibility. I am committed to reducing mental health stigma while delivering high-quality, personalized psychiatric care.
