Healing often requires more than a pill
Integrative medicine expands your treatment options by bringing together the best approaches from conventional and holistic medicine.
Integrative psychiatry doesn’t mean anti medication. We work together to find the best medication regimen for you that works at the lowest dose possible and without causing unnecessary side effects. In addition to medication, I can work with you to use nutritional supplementation and plant based medicines to give you extra support.
I consider every possible contributor to your condition. I offer specialized lab testing and interpretation of nutritional deficiencies, metabolic and hormonal imbalances. I also assess inflammatory status and look for adrenal and thyroid dysfunction and gut dysbiosis (imbalances) through advanced functional lab testing when appropriate. I can also use genetic testing to see how you metabolize medications and to better predict your response to specific medications.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing when working with patients. I provide a safe healing space where I will take my time to listen and understand your story and offer you concrete tools to break through from the negative thought and behavior patterns.
There are other molecules besides prescription medications that affect the brain pathways related to regulating mood. I can assist you in utilizing plant based medicines and nutritional supplements to improve your well-being. In case you are already taking supplements, I can help you maximize their benefits by ensuring that you are consuming the appropriate supplements in the correct dose and formulation, while also confirming that there are no harmful interactions with any medications you are taking.
How It Works & Pricing
The 75 minute appointment provides ample time for you to share your story and discuss your experiences without feeling rushed. It is important for me to fully understand your background and the context of your current struggles in order to provide the most effective care. The longer appointment duration also allows for a more relaxed and comfortable environment, which can facilitate a deeper level of trust and honesty between us. It is my belief that by fostering a supportive and nonjudgmental atmosphere, we can work together to identify and address the underlying issues that are impacting your mental health.

my approach
I approach psychiatric care in a unique way that sets me apart from other providers. Here s what makes me different:
Looking for natural ways to support your mental health? As a psychiatric provider, I believe that supplements, plant-based medicine, and nutraceutical treatments can be excellent complements or alternatives to traditional medications. Not only can these interventions allow us to use medication for a shorter time or in lower doses, but they can also offer unique benefits that traditional medication may not provide.
In addition, I offer and interpret functional lab testing to better investigate nutrient deficiencies and root causes of complicated or distressing symptoms. By looking at the underlying causes of your symptoms, we can create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.
Looking for a personalized approach to mental health care? We’ll start with a comprehensive initial consultation-75 minutes that can be tailored to your needs, During this time, we’ll delve into your past treatments and current concerns to uncover the root of the problem and develop a customized treatment plan that may include medication, therapy, lab testing, supplements, and behavioral treatments.
My focus is on getting you feeling better as efficiently and quickly as possible, and I offer follow-up sessions that are a minimum of 30 minutes long for a more in-depth review or for psychotherapy in addition to medical treatment. With my compassionate and attentive approach, you can be sure that your mental health needs will be met with the care and expertise you deserve.
Looking for mental health care that fits your busy schedule and lifestyle? I offer appointment times via telehealth, including evenings and weekends, so you can receive the care you need on your own time. And with my streamlined online systems, the process from initial contact to ongoing treatment is intuitive and easy to navigate.
While I don’t work directly with insurance companies, I use Reimbursify to simplify the process of filing claims for out-of-network reimbursement. This way, you can focus on your mental health without worrying about complicated insurance paperwork.
