Let’s find solutions, together — in a non-judgmental, caring partnership.
Medication Management
Integrative psychiatry doesn’t mean no medication — I can help you find the best medication regimen that helps you feel better without causing unnecessary side effects, and I can also help you reduce your need for medication by using holistic methods to give you extra support.
Psychotherapy
I use methods derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Spiritual Psychotherapy in working with patients. I listen to you, understand your culture and background and empower you to work on solutions.
Lifestyle Coaching
I help you to create new habits around nutrition, sleep and movement. We will do this in small steps to create a healthy, sustainable lifestyle that makes sense to you.
Herbal & Plant-Based Medicine
Prescription medications aren’t the only molecules that impact brain pathways involved with mood regulation, and I can work with you to use nutritional supplementation and plant-based medicines to feel better. If you’re already on a supplement regimen, I can help optimize it make sure you are taking the right supplements with the right formulation at the right dose, and I can make sure there are no dangerous interactions between any of the medications and supplements you are taking.
Functional Nutritional Testing
One of the limits of conventional lab testing is that just because your nutrient levels are in the “normal” range doesn’t mean you’re meeting all of your functional nutrient needs. I can work with you to use the latest technology of lab testing to examine your nutrient levels, organic acid levels, essential and metabolic fatty acid levels, amino acid levels, level of oxidative stress, and presence of toxins, which will allow us to further optimize your treatment regimen.
Advanced Hormonal Testing
One of biggest problems with our hectic modern lives is adrenal burnout and fatigue. I can provide advanced salivary cortisol and melatonin testing in order to assess adrenal function and better diagnose and treat chronic fatigue.
Gut Microbiome Testing
The medical community now understands the massive connection between gut health, our microbiome, and our mental health. I can provide advanced gastrointestinal stool testing to assess for maldigestion, inflammation, dysbiosis, metabolite imbalance, and infection.
Therapeutic Diets
What we eat can have a huge impact on how we feel, and some of us have food sensitivities that we may not be aware of that subtly affect our mood. I can guide patients through therapeutic diets such as the Elimination Diet to guide you toward dietary changes to optimize your health.
Genetic Testing
No bodies or minds are exactly the same, and new research is showing how our genes can influence how we respond to treatment. I can use genetic testing to examine your predisposition for illness, predict response to specific medications, and optimize your medication regimen.
Mind-Body Medicine
I can teach you how to use meditation and mindfulness to stabilize your mood and better ride the natural waves of emotions that we inevitably experience by virtue of being human beings.
Integrating Psychedelic Experiences
The therapeutic use of psychedelics (including psilocybin, LSD, ketamine and MDMA) can lead to profound spiritual awakenings (and has growing evidence for the treatment of depression and PTSD) — but how does one integrate the lessons from a psychedelic experience into daily life? I can help you process your experience with psychedelics and incorporate new ways of thinking so you can experience more purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in your life.
Treatment Tracks
Our Treatment Approaches
In my practice, I offer two distinct approaches to care:
Essential Psychiatric Assessment & Treatment
Integrative/Functional Psychiatric Assessment & Treatment
Finding Your Best Path to Wellness
I've found that patients typically fall into one of two categories:
Traditional Path Patients — Individuals who have not yet pursued many conventional psychiatric options and can benefit from a foundational, traditional approach
Complex Care Patients — Those with more complex needs who have often tried multiple standard treatments without adequate relief or experienced significant side effects, requiring a more comprehensive, specialized plan
