Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Founder

Hi! My name is Chau and I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner based out of the Bay Area in California. I help women who are struggling with their mental health whose goal is to thrive and live their best, authentic life.

I was born and raised in San Jose, CA and received my post-master’s nurse practitioner certification in psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. I completed my residency training at Kaiser Redwood City and the VA in Oakland. I’ve been lucky enough to meet women from all backgrounds and all walks of life. From my time at the Asian Women’s Shelter to traveling to Ghana on a medical mission to working in multiple outpatient clinics and private practice, all these interactions allowed me connect with many women and mother’s who were struggling with feeling overwhelmed, depressed, intense mood swings, difficulty with focus, anxiety, and traumatic experiences.

During your first visit with me, you can expect to feel a sense of relief that you are in good hands. We will have a conversation and together develop a comprehensive treatment plan that will take into account your history, life experiences, lifestyle, and views on medication and holistic treatments. I collaborate with a psychiatrist to make sure you receive the best, appropriate care to reach your goals.
