About Sara
I first came to California to attend medical school at Stanford University. In my medical training, I found myself drawn to understanding my patients as people - the past and present experiences that shaped the fabric of their lives, the meaning they found in work, the story of their relationships, and more. I decided to pursue residency training in psychiatry to become a witness and guide in the human experience. I believe healing happens in the context of emotional experience and transformative relationships, and this philosophy informs my practice.
Psychiatric Treatment
My concierge private practice offers a comprehensive approach to mental health care, combining evidence-based medication management and therapy with metabolic, nutritional, and holistic practices. I also collaborate with other medical providers to ensure coordination across your healthcare team.
​
I work with people experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, mood changes related to infertility or the perinatal period, stress, and relationship challenges. I offer treatment for both individuals and couples.
​
Our work together may include medications, therapy, or a combination of both. We will work together to understand your needs and develop a treatment plan that is personalized for you.
Executive Coaching
I did my medical training in the heart of Silicon Valley, where I witnessed the rise of mental health tech and became interested in how digital interventions could transform care. I began consulting for mental health tech companies and later founded a clinic focused on integrating digital therapeutics. Currently, I am a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford and Director of Stanford's Digital Mental Health Clinic. I also advise early-stage health tech startups as a faculty advisor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and I consult with numerous mental health tech companies.
My background in health tech gives me a nuanced understanding of the psychological challenges entrepreneurs and leaders face. Founding a company is psychologically complex, often involving stress, uncertainty, and decision fatigue. Leaders need the right support to navigate these challenges and ensure both business success and personal well-being.
​
As an executive coach, I help high-performing individuals and teams unlock their potential, navigate complex challenges, and lead with impact. Effective leadership starts with self-awareness and a commitment to growth. My coaching helps you leverage your strengths, address areas for improvement, and cultivate a mindset that promotes creativity, agility, and well-being. With my clinical background, I approach our work holistically, recommending medications when appropriate. Whether you’re scaling your business, navigating organizational change, or enhancing team performance, I partner with you to create a coaching experience tailored to your vision and goals.
