My approach is based on integrative psychiatry, which uses medications, therapy and complementary medicine to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I address the combined impact of sleep, lifestyle, relationships, nutrition and chronic medical conditions on well-being, and use cutting edge tools like genetic testing to guide personalized treatment with medication and supplements. I consider the patient’s cultural background in my assessments and I can provide treatment in Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian. My goal is to help my patients create lasting changes and build vitality, resilience and purpose in life.

I care for people who feel stuck, emotionally, spiritually, or in relationships. They may carry trauma, shame, or a sense of disconnection from self and meaning. Some seek second opinions, others seek transformation. They are ready to explore their patterns, not just medicate them. Many are spiritual seekers who sense there’s more to healing than managing symptoms. They want a space where mind, body, and soul are welcomed—and where both conventional medicine and deeper inner work are possible. People who overuse their intellect especially benefit from working with me.
