Board-certified. Dually trained. Deeply experienced.
One of the most courageous steps we can take for ourselves is opening up about our mental health symptoms and the internal struggles we are experiencing. Peaceful Mind Psychiatric is here to walk that journey with you.
Peaceful Mind Psychiatric was founded on a simple but urgent belief — that mental health care should meet people where they are, with compassion, cultural sensitivity, and clinical excellence.That belief grew out of years of primary care work in underserved communities across Philadelphia, where the connection between untreated mental health and declining physical health was impossible to ignore. Patients were struggling — not because help didn't exist, but because the right kind of care was hard to find.Peaceful Mind exists to close that gap. To provide psychiatric care that sees the whole person — their history, their values, their faith, and their goals — and builds treatment around all of it.
Rooted in the immigrant experience and shaped by Philadelphia communities, Peaceful Mind brings a deep understanding of how culture, identity, and life experience intersect with mental health.
Psychiatric care often goes undertreated — not because people don't seek help, but because therapy alone isn't always enough. Medication management, when done thoughtfully, can be the piece that makes everything else possible.
Peaceful Mind was built for the patients who have been trying — and haven't yet found the right support. Board-certified, evidence-based, and deeply personal in approach.
Adults in Delaware, Pennsylvania and Washington State who are ready to take the first step — or who have been trying for a long time and haven't yet found the right support.
If mental health symptoms are disrupting your daily life — your relationships, your work, your sense of self — and therapy or other interventions haven't been enough, medication management may be the missing piece.
From postpartum to perimenopause and beyond, women's mental health needs are unique. I provide care specifically attuned to the biological and emotional shifts that come with each stage of life.
For patients who desire it, care can incorporate Christian values, prayerful reflection, and a biblical perspective alongside evidence-based treatment. This is always patient-led and never imposed.
Collaborative, unhurried, and grounded in who you actually are — not a diagnosis on a chart.
Your treatment plan is built around your history, your goals, and your values — not a template. I draw from person-centered care, motivational interviewing, and strength-based approaches to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be.
Every recommendation I make is grounded in current evidence and tailored to your specific situation. What works for one patient may not work for another — and I take that seriously.
As a Christian and a clinician, I believe healing involves caring for the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. For patients who desire it, I offer Christ-centered care that incorporates Christian values alongside sound psychiatric treatment. This is always patient-led and never required.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and a licensed Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP). I was born in Vietnam, and my family immigrated to the United States as refugees. I was raised in Philadelphia, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Holy Family University.
I completed my Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner training at New York University and provided primary and inpatient medical care to underserved communities throughout Philadelphia. During this time, I recognized a recurring and concerning pattern: many patients suffered from significant mental and emotional distress that was either unrecognized or inadequately treated, contributing to worsening physical health and diminished quality of life.
This realization led me to pursue advanced training in psychiatry. I earned my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree from the University of Pennsylvania, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management. As I transitioned into psychiatric practice, I found my true calling in caring for individuals across the lifespan who are navigating complex mental health challenges.
