Improving your mental health is a process that involves the whole body.
Traditional psychiatry is surface level. Integrative psychiatry is more than medication and goes beneath the surface to reduce symptoms, not just cover them up with a pill. Integrative psychiatry is holistic and encourages looking from the inside out.

and create a balance...

My Holistic Approach, including Therapy
(in a casual, comfortable, professional way)
What does personalized mean?
It all begins with you.
Where traditional psychiatry alone is bland, integrative and functional psychiatry is rich and colorful. It is a powerful combination of the best practices that science has to offer.
The exact formula we'll create together will depend on what makes you unique, including your genetics, history, lifestyle, and everything in between.
With an integrative approach, we do not use a one-size-fits-all prescription or treatment plan.
We’ll explore root causes. Together we can come up with short-term and long-term solutions. After reviewing all available options, together we'll select a path based on what is important to you.
