I am a board-certified, child specialty-trained psychiatrist based in the South Bay/Los Angeles area who is dedicated to serving children, adolescents, and young adults across southern California.
My care philosophy emphasizes the integration of therapy and lifestyle changes alongside medications—when necessary—to address each person’s unique needs.
Nice to meet you!
Raised by a family of Vietnamese immigrants, I am deeply passionate about exploring how cultural background intertwines with and shapes mental health experiences.
My work focuses on bridging communication gaps between children and their families, fostering a supportive environment for healing and growth. By honoring cultural values and perspectives, I strive to create connections that empower families to navigate mental health challenges together.
In this fast-paced digital age, I am committed to helping individuals cultivate meaningful, authentic connections that enrich their lives.
I recognize how technology can both connect and overwhelm us, so I strive to support you in finding balance, so your relationships thrive beyond the screen.
