Integrative Psychiatry
Integrative Psychiatry offers a comprehensive approach to mental health care, combining traditional psychiatric treatments with alternative and complementary therapies. By integrating various modalities such as medication, psychotherapy, minfulness practices, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications, integrative psychiatry aims to address the individual’s mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. This holistic approach considers the interconnectedness of the mind and body, treating the person as a whole rather than focusing solely on symptoms. The benefits of integrative psychiatry include personalized treatment plans tailored to the unique needs of each indvidual, a focus on prevention and wellness, reduced reliance on medications when possible and an emphasis on empowering patients to take an active role in their health journey. By combining the best of coventional and alternative approaches, integrative psychiatry offers a more comprehensive and patient-centered approach to mental health care. We can create a support plan to potentially minimize the reliance on medication, where appropriate.

Healing Frequently Demands More Than Just Medication
Integrative medicine broadens your treatment possibilities by merging the most effective methods from both conventional and holistic medicine.
Comprehensive Lab Testing
We thoroughly examine all potential factors contributing to your condition. This includes conducting specialized lab tests to assess nutritional deficiencies, metabolic and hormonal imbalances, inflammatory markers, adrenal and thyroid function, and gut. Additionally, when necessary, I utilize advanced functional lab testing and genetic testing to personalize your treatment plan.
Lifestyle Coaching
Throughout our partnership, we focus on lifestyle elements such as sleep, diet, physical activity, and social connections. We delve into substance use, including caffeine, tobacco, marijuana, alcohol, and more. While substances may offer temporary relief, cultivating positive lifestyle habits fosters resilience. Overcoming habits can be tough, but I’ll support and motivate you.
