Thank you for your interest! I am a board-certified psychiatrist practicing integrative psychiatry. I am dedicated to investigating and addressing underlying issues to achieve long-term mental wellness. I start with a comprehensive evaluation of your current symptoms and past history, we then incorporate lab tests, diet and lifestyle assessment, and sleep analysis and optimization. I use therapeutic components in most of my care with patients, unless an individual prefers to solely focus on medication management, a service I also happily provide. Medications can be a helpful tool, as well as evidence-based nutraceuticals. I utilize innovative assessment tools, such as micronutrient testing, hormonal testing, and gene testing, to provide a treatment plan that is catered to you.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. I review your medical history and other concurrent medical conditions. We will discuss which lab tests will be helpful for optimizing your mental and physical health. We discuss effective therapy options. I also assess your diet, sleep, exercise, and other lifestyle habits, and their impact on your mental health. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
As a provider, it is of utmost importance to me to uphold the following values: 1. Competence and Expertise- I have trained in various subspecialty clinics at renowned academic institutions, with a focus on trauma recovery, women's mental health, mood disorders, integrative care, and I stay up-to-date with new treatment modalities to provide a wide range of treatment options. 2. Empathy and Understanding: I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where my clients feel truly heard and understood. I strive to connect with each individual on a deep emotional level, acknowledging their unique experiences and validating their feelings without judgment. By walking alongside them on their journey, I aim to inspire hope and foster healing, knowing that empathy is the cornerstone of effective treatment.
If you’re looking for a psychiatrist who provides comprehensive, high quality mental health care that takes into consideration your overall medical history, uses evidence-based treatments, you're in the right place! I specialize in trauma recover, reproductive psychiatry, and I also treat stress-related issues, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, and anxiety.
Integrative
Hello and thank you for your interest in my practice! I treat each patient as a whole person. Sometimes psychiatric symptoms are only the tip of the iceberg, so I am dedicated to investigating and solving underlying issues rather than provide short-term bandaids. I also understand that active symptoms are not only distressing but can consume valuable time of our lives, so safe and timely relief of symptoms is just as crucial to treatment. I incorporate various therapy elements and medications, with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety, depression, stress management, and trauma recovery. I emphasize maintenance to achieve long lasting wellness. I am conservative with medications especially medications with long-term adverse effects. I have a deep understanding and passion for psychopharmacology so I can provide many tools. I incorporate alternative evidence-based options including therapy, diet, exercise, and nutraceuticals/supplements. Thank you for taking the time to consider my practice. If the above sounds like how you'd like to approach mental health, email me and let's talk!
