My Integrative Approach

I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with integrative principles that address the whole person — mind, body, and life circumstances. This personalized approach considers biological, psychological, social, lifestyle, and environmental factors that influence mental health. Treatment plans may include medication management when appropriate, psychotherapy (including CBT, insight-oriented, and CPT for PTSD), mindfulness practices, and supportive holistic strategies.

Conditions I Treat

Depression and mood disorders • Anxiety and panic disorders • PTSD and trauma-related issues • Bipolar disorder • Women’s mental health • Grief, loss, and life transitions • Work stress and burnout • Stress related to chronic medical conditions
