ABOUT

I am a psychiatrist, coach, author, and holistic wellness leader who integrates my expertise in mental health with the transformative practices of yoga, breathwork, and meditation. 

I studied psychobiology at UCLA, attended medical school at University of Southern California, and completed my psychiatry residency program at UCLA San Fernando Valley, a program that gave me a strong background both in psychopharmacology as well as multiple different forms of psychotherapy. I am a board certified psychiatrist and have a private practice in San Jose, California where I live with my husband and two sons.

In addition to my medical practice, I published my first book, Practicing Stillness, in 2022 which is a beautiful introduction to stillness practices with psychotherapeutic principles weaved throughout.

I also have a coaching business where I have stepped out of the medical model to help my clients build physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health in both their personal and business lives.
