I am a psychiatrist (medical doctor/physician) skilled in psychotherapy (talk therapy, counseling, and psychoanalysis). I specialize in helping people reach their full potential by answering difficult life questions such as, "What's happening," "What does this mean," and perhaps most importantly, "What should I do?" With years of clinical experience treating patients of all ages, from children to adults, I meet my patients where they are. I collaborate with each patient to find what they need, whether that be short or long-term psychotherapy, medication, or a combination that fits the person.

My ideal clients are college students, young adults (18-35), and professionals who feel stuck despite being capable. Many struggle with anxiety, burnout, depression, ADHD, or navigating identity and expectations. They often come after trying to push through alone or feeling unseen in past care. I take time to understand your full story and build a personalized plan—therapy, lifestyle, and when appropriate, medication—so you can feel more grounded, clear, and aligned with who you are.

Life has a way of surfacing the same struggles again and again — in our relationships, our work, and the way we feel about ourselves. When that happens, something deeper is usually worth understanding. I'm a board-certified psychiatrist trained at UT Southwestern with a focus on psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, identity questions, life transitions, and more. My approach isn't just about managing symptoms — it's about understanding the patterns beneath them, so that real and lasting change becomes possible.

Focus feels harder lately. Your patience is thinner. Sleep doesn’t restore you the way it used to—and pushing through isn’t working anymore. If you’re here, it’s likely because something deeper needs attention—not quick fixes or surface-level care, but thoughtful, precise treatment that actually addresses what’s going on underneath. I specialize in psychiatric medication management for depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, and opioid use disorder, including Suboxone treatment.

FAQ - Asian Psychiatrists
What can an Asian psychiatrist help with?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, often through a combination of therapy and medication. For many individuals, especially those from culturally diverse backgrounds, feeling seen and understood by a mental health provider can be just as important as clinical expertise. For some people of Asian descent, working with a psychiatrist who shares their cultural heritage can help bridge communication gaps, reduce stigma, and provide a more nuanced understanding of an individual's challenges. While psychiatrists of all backgrounds are equally qualified, Asian psychiatrists may bring personal and professional insight into issues such as cultural stigma around mental health, intergenerational and immigrant experiences, racial discrimination, and identity-related stressors that can shape a person’s mental well-being.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian psychiatrists?
When searching for a provider, it is important to consider a range of factors to find the best fit for your mental health needs and cultural preferences. Psychology Today’s online directory is a helpful tool that allows you to filter your search specifically for Asian psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs). As you view a provider’s profile, consider their clinical focus to see if they have explicit experience with issues like racial identity, trauma, family dynamics, or specific populations. It is also helpful to consider practical details such as their therapeutic modalities, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, the languages they speak, and which insurance plans they accept to ensure their care is accessible to you.
