About me

My Approach to Care

Collaborative, individualized care grounded in your symptoms, goals, values, and daily life.




About me

My Approach to Care

I believe meaningful care begins with feeling understood. My approach is collaborative and individualized, with attention to your symptoms, goals, values, and the realities of your daily life.




A more personalized approach to mental health care

My path into healthcare has always been shaped by curiosity about the connection between the mind and body. I was drawn to psychiatry because mental health is never just one thing. It is influenced by sleep, stress, hormones, medical history, relationships, routines, and the way someone is able to function in everyday life.


That perspective is what led me to integrative psychiatric care. Medication can be an incredibly helpful part of treatment, but it works best when care also considers the whole person. My goal is to create care that is thoughtful, evidence-based, practical, and tailored to what each person actually needs.



What It’s Like to Work Together

Care is tailored to you and your needs. Some people are looking primarily for medication management, while others want to explore non-medication or holistic strategies. Many people benefit from a thoughtful combination of both. We will focus on what feels appropriate, realistic, and aligned with your goals.I do not believe care should feel rushed, dismissive, or one-size-fits-all. Together, we will look at your symptoms, history, current stressors, lifestyle, strengths, and goals to better understand what is contributing to how you feel.My hope is that treatment feels thoughtful, realistic, and useful beyond the appointment itself. Whether we are discussing medication, coping strategies, routines, or changes in daily functioning, the goal is to build a plan that supports meaningful and sustainable improvement.

What Is Integrative Psychiatry?


Integrative psychiatry is a comprehensive approach to mental health treatment. It includes evidence-based psychiatric evaluation and medication management, while also considering medical, behavioral, and lifestyle factors that may affect symptoms. This may include sleep, stress, nutrition, medical history, current medications, substance use, routines, relationships, and daily functioning.Treatment is individualized based on your symptoms, history, goals, preferences, and response to care. Depending on your needs, care may include medication management, non-medication strategies, lifestyle recommendations, coping tools, or coordination with other healthcare providers.This approach can help identify factors that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, mood changes, ADHD symptoms, burnout, sleep difficulties, or stress-related concerns. The goal is to create a treatment plan that is clinically appropriate, realistic, and tailored to you.
