Some of us have been through some real tragedies and we can lose sight of who we are but the purest versions of ourselves are still in there, somewhere….. Sometimes we need someone to help us navigate through the windy road for a bit to get back to who we are meant to be.

TREATMENT APPROACHES
I specialize in supporting individuals through pivotal moments in their lives by addressing not only the psychological and emotional impacts but also the deeper, often unspoken aspects of their experiences. My approach blends traditional and holistic therapies to help you find resilience and balance, guiding you through these transitions with compassion and comprehensive care. I am dedicated to helping you rebuild and thrive through these critical life changes.

This is a straightforward evaluation for those who are in pretty good health. We will discuss "your story" so that I have an opportunity to know more about you and what you are hoping to attain from treatment. We will consider conventional treatment methods along with diet, exercise, nutrition, sleep and stress reduction techniques ensuring that your needs are met.

Prior to the appointment, I will thoroughly review all medical records, laboratory results, and intake forms. The evaluation will include a comprehensive assessment of your mental health history, including previous diagnoses and both failed and successful past treatments, as well as an examination of your physical health and lifestyle factors, such as exercise patterns and psychosocial aspects like relationships, stressors, and overall daily functioning. During the first part of the evaluation, you will have the opportunity to share your story and discuss your goals and preferences. Based on this information, I will develop a personalized treatment plan that integrates both conventional and complementary approaches to address your unique needs.

As an integrative practitioner, please know that I am not anti-medication. We will work in tandem to ensure the best and safest medication regimen is used whilst utilizing nonconventional methods to help support optimal improvement of symptoms.

I offer a unique approach to therapy blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychoanalytical therapy (delving into the unconscious mind to understand conscious behaviors), Interpersonal Therapy as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to cultivate self-awareness to break negative patterns and promote changed thinking and behavior.

I will work in collaboration WITH YOU to create a treatment plan targeted to meet your specific needs. I may recommend and prescribe pharmaceutical-grade supplements tailored to your preferences depending upon lab testing and symptom presentation that takes a deeper dive into your nutrient levels to optimize your outcomes.
**These high-grade pharmaceutical supplements adhere to rigorous 3rd party testing and will be provided to you at a discounted rate as I will add you to my provider discount.

Part of comprehensive planning in treatment in integrative psychiatry is lab testing. However, this goes much deeper than your basic lab panels ordered by primary care providers and even internal medicine practitioners. Lab analysis can provide valuable insight into your overall health and well-being. I will use my expertise to hone in on any imbalances while also optimizing nutrient levels that are at low levels of normal often times missed by other providers.
This also includes ADVANCED HORMONAL TESTING! Advanced hormonal testing is often not performed during perimenopause and menopause in conventional medicine. However, understanding hormone levels and their metabolism can inform treatment recommendations to support women during these phases and can help enhance overall wellness.
Genetic testing is in a way your genetic "fingerprint". It is a study that shows how YOUR genes affect how YOUR body responds to specific medications. This can help guide treatment specific to medication management.

Meditation, breathwork and mindfulness techniques will be used to foster peace and connection to yourself. This in turn looks like a marked improvement in anxiety, depression and insomnia while enhancing overall well-being.

Due to my extensive background in treating clients suffering from a multitude of chronic pain conditions I am well suited to recommend multiple treatment modalities aside from and including medication management to help you function at your best!

Marijuana remains a contentious issue today, influenced by both legal and health perspectives. However, as an integrative practitioner, I recognize its potential as an alternative treatment option for various mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, insomnia, and chronic pain. By affecting pain perception and pathways in the brain, marijuana can promote balance and enhance overall well-being. Furthermore, its use may reduce the reliance on traditional pharmaceuticals, minimizing side effects and improving quality of life. An integrative approach that incorporates medical marijuana can effectively address both the physical and psychological needs of many clients.
**Annual visits for individuals seeking a medical marijuana card or letter are offered for $150.
