Welcome!
I am a board-certified psychiatrist with over 20 years experience working with men who seek better mood stability, emotional balance, or simply more joy and meaning in their lives.
I provide effective medication management and psychotherapy services for adult men. My exclusive focus on men's emotional and psychiatric disorders has allowed me to gain invaluable insight in the field of men's mental health. I understand the complex biological, psychological, social, emotional, and cultural issues affecting men today.
Whether you are looking for a safe space to "get things off your chest" or contemplating an antidepressant regimen, I am here to help.
I offer a private, confidential and professional space for men who are seeking high quality and effective treatment for depression, anxiety, relationship issues and more. As an experienced psychiatrist and psychotherapist, I strive to be compassionate, thorough and collaborative in my work.
Reach out to me today. I look forward to meeting you!

Bio
For over twenty years, I have had the privilege of supporting men in Silicon Valley through their mental health journeys. As a board-certified psychiatrist, I completed my medical degree and residency at the Stanford University School of Medicine, where I also served as Chief Resident. Since 2008, I have served as an Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor, teaching Stanford medical students and residents. Guided by a deeply humanistic approach to medicine, I consider it an honor to walk alongside my patients and mentor the next generation of physicians.
My commitment to care and teaching has been recognized with Stanford’s George Gulevich Humanistic Medicine Award and Excellence in Clinical Teaching Award, as well as a recent Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition by Congressman Ro Khanna.
Beyond the clinic, I explore the human experience as the author of three books: The Observer, The Concrete Mirror, and Your Years Will Teach You What Your Days Do Not Know. Outside of my practice, I find inspiration and balance in life's simpler rhythms—whether I am cooking, gardening, writing, or finding quiet reflection in the Hawaiian Islands.
