I recognize that some mental health conditions may require a psychopharmacological approach and I believe in working closely with my patients to provide them with education and a chance to help find the best medication regimen that helps them feel better without causing unnecessary side effects.
My practice blends evidence-based Western medicine with complementary services, such as genetic testing, vitamin supplementation, nutrition, exercise, and alternative treatments, to create a holistic treatment plan that nurtures your overall well-being.
At my practice, I recognize the significant role genetics play in mental health. To provide you with personalized and targeted treatment options, I have partnered with a reputable genetic company to offer genetic testing. Genetic testing can provide valuable insights into your unique genetic makeup and how it may impact your mental health. By understanding the genetic factors that contribute to your well-being, I can develop a more precise and effective treatment plan. In-home genetic testing allows us to view how you metabolize psychotropic medications and how you may respond to medication side effects.
I believe in the power of essential nutrients to support your mental well-being. To provide you with an additional boost, we have partnered with an FDA-approved compounding pharmacy to offer vitamin shots and injections upon request for established patients. These treatments can help enhance your mood, boost energy levels, and improve cognitive function. Our partnership ensures that you receive the highest quality and safety standards in every shot or injection. Learn more about the different types of vitamin shots offered and how to schedule your appointment on our Resources & Fee List page.
I understand the importance of personalized supplementation in supporting mental health and overall wellness. That's why I have partnered with a trusted supplement dispensary to offer high-quality supplements tailored to your specific needs with GUARANTEED lower costs than MSRP. Our partnership ensures that you have access to supplements that meet the highest standards of quality and effectiveness. By conveniently delivering these supplements straight to your home, we aim to make your wellness journey as seamless and hassle-free as possible. Visit our Resources & Fee List page to explore the supplements we offer and learn how to order them for delivery.
Longer appointment times are crucial as they enable healthcare providers to offer more comprehensive care, fostering thorough assessments and effective communication. This extended duration allows for the building of trust, improved patient education regarding your conditions and treatment plans, and the provision of psychosocial support. For complex cases, longer appointments facilitate detailed evaluations and coordination of care. Moreover, these extended sessions enable discussions on preventive care, shared decision-making, and the opportunity for you to ask questions, reducing stress and enhancing the overall patient experience.

This is a thorough initial evaluation conducted in a comprehensive format. We will discuss your reasons for seeking care. We will discuss your psychiatric and medical history in detail and explore your lifestyle, family history, relationships, occupation, goals, values, beliefs, etc. I will use this information to formulate a treatment plan* and we will collaborate on your best possible options.

Collaboration with other healthcare providers may also be needed on a case-by-case basis.
