Our integrative approach puts nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation first, and uses medication only when it is truly necessary. When appropriate, we use functional and genetic testing to better understand each patient's needs, and we prescribe pharmaceutical-grade supplements to help manage mild symptoms.
Nutrition, Lifestyle, and Supplements First
This is a big part of what makes our practice different. Many people come to me after years of being offered one more prescription as the answer to everything. How you sleep, eat, move, and handle stress all shape how you feel, so that's where our whole-person care begins.
Testing That Helps Me Understand You
When it makes sense for you, functional and genetic testing can add information that a conversation alone can't, such as nutrient levels or how your body may process certain medications. I use those results to make more informed choices about your treatment plan, not to add steps you don't need.
Pharmaceutical-Grade Supplements for Mild Symptoms
For mild symptoms, such as mild anxiety or low mood, a targeted supplement plan is often a good place to start. I prescribe pharmaceutical-grade supplements, so you can trust that what you're taking is consistent and high quality, and we adjust the plan together as you go.
When Medication Is the Right Tool
Integrative doesn't mean anti-medication. For more severe symptoms, medication is an evidence-based and effective tool. Our medication management is designed to work alongside, not replace, supplements and lifestyle changes, and supportive therapy is part of every follow-up. If you're already taking a medication and want to come off it, medication tapering follows the same whole-person approach.
Who This Approach Is For
Integrative psychiatry is a good fit for adults who want to understand what's driving their symptoms, who prefer to try non-medication options first when it's safe to do so, or who feel that past care focused only on prescriptions. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, insomnia, and more.
