I see men and women, ages 15 and older. I commonly help patients with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, OCD, and ADHD. I love helping those struggling with chronic pain and substance abuse find meaning and motivation.

Integrative psychiatry is a holistic approach that harmonizes the principles of both Eastern and Western philosophies in mental health care. It embraces conventional psychiatric treatments rooted in Western medicine while incorporating complementary practices from Eastern traditions, such as mindfulness, herbal remedies, homeopathy, functional lab testing, and yoga.

However, my specialization in integrative practices enables me to offer a comprehensive approach, leveraging both worlds to optimize mental health outcomes. I integrate evidence-based treatments with integrative modalities, ensuring a personalized and balanced approach tailored to each individual's unique needs, fostering holistic well-being for mind, body, and spirit.

I have the flexibility to meet more frequently in the beginning of treatment if that is indicated and desired.
