Integrative Psychiatry for Chronic Fatigue and Burnout in California

Holistic care to restore energy, clarity, and calm

Feeling constantly exhausted or “burnt out” is not your new normal.

I’m an integrative psychiatrist in California, and I understand how chronic fatigue and burnout can take over your life. I use a holistic approach to help adult patients regain energy and balance.

This means combining medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, advanced lab tests, mind-body techniques, and even psychedelic integration when appropriate.

My goal is to treat the whole person – body and mind – so you can feel like yourself again.

A Whole-Person Approach to Fatigue and Burnout

Chronic fatigue and burnout often have multiple causes — stress, poor sleep, hormones, inflammation, gut issues. I look for root causes, not just symptoms. With this broad, integrative lens, we’ll build a plan that restores energy from the inside out.

Medication + Natural Therapies: Thoughtful prescriptions combined with supportive remedies like nutrition and herbs.
Mind and Body: Therapy plus somatic tools to calm the nervous system and reduce stress overload.
Lifestyle and Environment: Daily rhythms, sleep, boundaries, and rest are restructured to rebuild your reserves.
Advanced Testing: Functional labs (hormones, nutrients, gut, genetics) to uncover what’s draining you — and how to fix it.

Medication Management with a Gentle Touch

Medication can support recovery — but it should never feel overwhelming. My approach is careful, minimal, and focused on relief, not overload.

Targeted Antidepressants or Stimulants: Used when energy is severely low or depression is part of the picture — always starting at the lowest effective dose.
Sleep Support: Medications or natural supplements to improve sleep quality, which is foundational for restoring energy.
Innovative Therapies: For select cases, intranasal ketamine may be considered — offering rapid improvement when traditional meds have failed.
Ongoing Monitoring: Your plan is adjusted regularly. Nothing is “set and forget.” We fine-tune together based on how you feel.

You won’t be pushed toward pills — only supported with what’s truly useful for you.

Psychotherapy and Mind-Body Medicine

Burnout isn’t just physical — it’s emotional. That’s why therapy and somatic techniques are central to your healing. We gently rebuild resilience from the inside out.

Therapy for Stress and Trauma: CBT, supportive counseling, and boundary-setting — tailored to those who give too much and rest too little.
Mindfulness & Nervous System Recovery: Meditation, breathing techniques, and gentle movement like yoga calm your overactive stress response.
Biofeedback & Somatic Tools: Track stress in real time using heart rate and muscle data — then learn to shift into deep rest.

You’ll be met with warmth and non-judgment. Burnout is not a flaw — it’s often a sign of strength stretched too far without support. Therapy helps you return to center.

Lifestyle Coaching for Energy and Balance

Lifestyle changes are powerful medicine. Together, we’ll build daily rhythms that protect your energy and restore vitality — one step at a time.

Sleep Hygiene

Evening routines, blue-light limits, and checking for deeper issues like apnea or hormone disruption.

Gentle Movement

We reintroduce movement with walks, yoga, stretching — never pushing, always supporting.

Stress Relief Habits

Daily rituals like breathwork, breaks, and journaling to lower cortisol and calm the nervous system.

Nature + Connection

Sunlight, fresh air, and moments of joy — nature and community are often the best medicine.

These small shifts restore capacity and build emotional stability. Each step is tailored to your energy and your life.

Herbal and Plant-Based Medicine

Nature offers powerful tools to fight fatigue and restore calm. I recommend evidence-based herbs and nutrients that gently support your mind, hormones, and energy.

Adaptogens: Ashwagandha, Rhodiola — help your body adapt to stress and improve energy focus.
Calming Botanicals: Lavender, chamomile, passionflower — reduce tension and aid sleep without sedatives.
Anti-Inflammatory Herbs: Turmeric, green tea — reduce physical inflammation that can sap energy.
Energy Nutrients: B12, magnesium, CoQ10 — restore depleted stores and mitochondrial function.

Every herb is screened for safety and interactions. These natural supports help ease fatigue while aligning with your overall care plan.

Functional and Nutritional Testing

When you’re dealing with burnout or persistent fatigue, we look deeper. Targeted testing uncovers hidden nutrient, hormonal, or gut issues contributing to your symptoms. With data in hand, we create a more effective healing plan.

Nutritional Panels

Vitamin B12, D, and iron levels
Magnesium, folate, CoQ10 deficiencies
Correcting even mild deficits can restore energy fast

Hormone & Stress Testing

Thyroid function & adrenal rhythm (DUTCH test)
Cortisol and DHEA patterns
Understanding your body’s stress curve = key

Gut & Inflammation Markers

Microbiome health & yeast overgrowth
Inflammation indicators like hs-CRP
Food sensitivities & nutrient absorption issues

You’ll never be told “your labs are fine” when they’re not. We connect the dots between biology and fatigue – and take clear, measurable steps to help you feel better.

Therapeutic Diets and Nutrition Coaching

Food isn’t just fuel — it’s medicine. We’ll use nutrition strategically to reduce inflammation, stabilize energy, and restore resilience.

Balanced Meals: High-fiber, protein-rich meals to reduce crashes and stabilize blood sugar.
Anti-Inflammatory Diet: Leafy greens, berries, turmeric, wild fish — foods that heal and energize.
Gut-Friendly Additions: Probiotic and prebiotic foods to improve absorption and reduce fatigue.
Caffeine & Hydration: Adjust use for clarity, mood, and better sleep.
Supplements When Needed: Only what your body needs, based on real data — no guesswork.

We’ll tailor your plan to your lifestyle — even if cooking isn’t your thing. Nutrition becomes simple, sustainable, and energizing.

Advanced Hormonal and Immune Testing

Chronic fatigue often has hidden drivers — adrenal burnout, thyroid imbalances, post-viral inflammation, or low-grade immune activation. We leave no mystery unsolved.

Adrenal Function: Saliva or urine cortisol testing to detect burnout, flatlined rhythms, or “wired-but-tired” stress cycles.
Thyroid Panel: Full spectrum: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and antibodies. We catch subtle dysfunctions others miss.
Inflammation & Autoimmunity: hs-CRP, EBV, or chronic infection panels to detect persistent low-grade immune triggers.
Allergy & Mold Testing: For patients with sinus issues, headaches, or exposure histories — environmental triggers that drain energy.
Genetic Insight (optional): MTHFR or other SNPs that affect nutrient metabolism, energy production, or medication response.

When the data reveals what’s happening, we can finally treat what’s real — not guess, dismiss, or medicate symptoms alone. That’s the power of precision care.
