Hello and welcome! I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over a decade of experience treating adult patients in San Diego county. I am hoping to connect with clients who are looking for a psychiatric provider who is not only skilled in diganosis and prescribing, but is able to understand your unique needs and build a trusted partnership in your care. My style has been described as relationship oriented, as I believe in building strong rapport and embodying a warm, curious, and accepting approach to treating my patients.
Prior to clinical practice, I was rigorously trained at the University of Michigan. I have also held leadership roles including UCSD NP training program Deputy Director. Clinically, I have broad experience working in adult psych, with a special interest treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, maternal mental health, women’s issues, trauma, and ADHD.
I know how vulnerable it can feel seeking out someone to help with psychiatric needs, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey. I look forward to meeting you soon!
Take the first step to help. Call or Sarah Pai now - (858) 358-6209
