My Approach

​

Modern psychiatry often focuses on relieving symptoms — insomnia, anxiety, depression — through medication alone. Medication can be effective, and sometimes life-saving, but it's rarely the whole story.

I believe lasting mental health comes from understanding what's underneath the symptoms. Together, we look at the full picture: medical and hormonal factors, nutrition, personal history, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

 

My approach draws on:

• Evidence-based medication management, when appropriate

• Mind-body practices — mindfulness, somatic work, movement

• Positive psychology — resilience, self-compassion, gratitude

• Collaborative, goal-oriented care centered on your values

​
