Psychiatric symptoms are often only the tip of the iceberg. My practice emphasizes long-term resilience — investigating what's underneath, not only offering short-term relief. My approach is integrative and medically thorough: I consider sleep, hormones, nutrition, stress physiology, and medical factors alongside the psychological picture. I studied neuroscience and trained at UCLA and the VA, where I learned how layered mental health truly is. My multicultural background and lived experience give me fluency in the unspoken dimensions of stress, identity, and belonging. I see patients across California in English and Mandarin.
Active symptoms are not only distressing but can consume precious time — so safe and timely symptom relief is just as crucial as the deeper work. I provide careful, evidence-based medication management with attention to the full medical picture, including reproductive health and perinatal transitions.
It takes courage to seek help — and that same strength is exactly what we'll build on together. We begin with a thorough medical and psychological evaluation to understand the full context of your concerns and develop a thoughtful, individualized plan. If you are seeking careful, strengths-based treatment with lasting impact, I welcome you to reach out.
