Optimizing and improving your mental health is a holistic process that involves the whole body.
Reject the traditional. Integrative psychiatry is more than medication and seeks to upend the status quo, not just solve the problem up with a pill. Integrative psychiatry is holistic and demands a reevaluation of our approach to wellness and health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a psychiatrist?
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner! My role is similar to that of a psychiatrist. Like psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners can prescribe medication, provide therapy and coaching, conduct evaluations, and more. While I have a doctorate in nursing and can use the title doctor, I am not a physician or MD.
In many ways my role is very similar to that of a psychiatrist. Psychiatric nurse practitioners are nurses first, that then go on to receive additional education and training . As nurses, our approach to care tends to be more holistic. We have the bedside experience that helps us connect with patients as people!
Are you a mental health specialist?
Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners are specialists in all things related to mental health. We can prescribe medication, perform therapy, order tests, complete assessments and evaluations, and partner with you to help you improve your mental health.
