An Integrative Approach
Medication Management
Integrative psychiatry doesn’t mean anti-medication — I can help you find the best medication regimen that helps you feel better without causing unnecessary side effects, and I can also help you reduce your need for medication by using holistic methods to give you extra support.
I also offer medication de-prescribing if that seems like something that is safely possible.
Mindfulness & Spirituality
The best medication regimen in the world won’t help if your habits aren’t serving your mental health. It’s hard to change and I can help you take tiny steps forward that will create massive positive results.
“Spiritual psychiatry” is a practice that includes taking into account spiritual or religious experiences, traditions, practices and beliefs in the assessment and treatment of a person.

Integrative Nutrition
As a certified holistic nutrition coach, I may incorporate recommended nutritional options for addressing anxiety, depression, and mood lability as well as hormonal imbalances, providing you (upon request) with a personalized meal plan.
While whole foods are the best source of nutrients, if appropriate I can also guide you in how to choose high-quality supplements that won’t break the bank.
Integrative Lab Testing
One of the limits of conventional lab testing is that just because your nutrient levels are in the “normal” range doesn’t mean you’re meeting all of your functional nutrient needs. Labwork gives us an objective measure of our treatment plan and allows me to be more precise in my recommendations.
Depression, anxiety, and ADHD are some of the conditions effected by hormonal cycling. We will track your cycle and I will give you options for hormone testing if appropriate.
***When using insurance, many of these modalities will be considered either out-of-network or ineligible for coverage***
Please check with your insurance company first regarding integrative lab testing, genetic testing, medical devices, and coverage of suggested referrals.
All of these services are still available but may require a payment from you. Again, please check with your insurance carrier for details on your specific plan if you have questions,
Biofeedback & Wearable Devices
Heart Math (biofeedback) and brain stimulation devices coming soon! These offer a great alternative if you are sensitive to medication. There are other wearable devices to control anxiety.
**Some wearable devices can be covered by insurance, although it is more typical that they are not.
