We blend modern science with a caring, whole-person approach. It’s not just about managing symptoms, it’s about helping you heal and thrive.
We’ll help you get to the root of what’s going on so you can move forward and feel better. At Palo Alto Mind Body, our practice is grounded in something rare--personal experience from both sides of medicine. Before becoming a physician, I spent years as a patient battling Crohn’s Disease. I endured surgeries, hospital stays, and emotional isolation. I know firsthand what it’s like to feel unseen,
unheard, and dismissed in moments of deep vulnerability. That experience shaped a great deal about how I practice today. After earning my MD and MPH at Emory and completing a Psychiatry Residency at Stanford, I opened a practice centered around compassion, connection, and time. We built this concierge psychiatry model to be accessible, practical, and rooted in three pillars: Mind-Body Health, Community Care, and Interventional Psychiatry. With tools like IV ketamine, Spravato, and personalized therapy, we offer advanced care tailored to your needs. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal thoughts, or just trying to find your footing again, we're here to walk with you. You deserve care from someone who truly understands the journey back to health.

Your energy, your hope, and your sense of self. It can feel like everything is slipping away, and relief feels out of reach despite your efforts. However, healing is still possible, and we know that brighter days can come with the help of SPRAVATO®.
We make care more accessible as we assist patients in navigating insurance coverage, including working with many major providers to secure authorization for Spravato and, in some cases, ketamine treatments.
We believe that when the mind and body are in sync, true healing becomes possible. Especially for those who have struggled to find lasting relief elsewhere.
At Palo Alto Mind Body, we know healing is about more than just treating symptoms. It’s about caring for the whole person. You’re not a diagnosis or a checklist. You’re someone with a story, with real challenges, and real strength.
We believe that when the mind and body are in sync, true healing can happen. That’s why we combine trusted, evidence-based, advanced treatments with a deeply personal, compassionate approach. Whether you're trying to feel more like yourself again, find peace, or simply get through a tough time, we’re here for you.
Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romantic love. 💗 It’s about all forms of love!
The love you give to others and the love you give yourself.
Taking time to practice self-love can lower stress, improve your mood, and help you feel more grounded. And when you express love to a partner, friend, family member, or even a coworker, your brain releases feel-good chemicals that support mental health and connection.
Love looks different for everyone. It might be setting boundaries, saying thank you, checking in on someone, or doing something kind for yourself without guilt.
Today, celebrate love in every form. The kind you share. The kind you receive. And the kind you’re still learning to give yourself. 💕

Living with can feel exhausting and isolating, especially when the effects of trauma don’t seem to fade with time. Many people try to push through or feel discouraged after treatments don’t bring the relief they hoped for. You are not broken, and you are not alone in this experience.

Many people who struggle with one also experience symptoms of the other, and a large number of people with depression also deal with anxiety. 😕
That’s why it’s important not to self-diagnose. The compassionate team at Palo Alto Mind Body can help sort through symptoms, provide a proper evaluation, and support you in finding the right path forward.
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults age 18 and older each year...
You don’t have to wait until everything feels overwhelming to get support, and you don’t have to handle anxiety on your own. Anxiety can show up in quiet ways, like constant worry, trouble sleeping, feeling on edge, or always expecting something to go wrong. Over time, it can make work feel harder, strain relationships, and take the fun out of things you used to enjoy.
Support can help you understand your anxiety, learn ways to calm your mind and body, and feel more in control again. You deserve support, understanding, and relief, and our team is here to help when you are ready.
This blog discusses the differences and treatment alternatives of normal anxiety and anxiety disorders.
