Specializing in personalized solutions without side effects for depression, bipolar spectrum, anxiety, ADHD, sleep, and trauma. Board-certified, published, and consulting in psychiatry, I offer mastery of traditional medications and integrative approaches - from advanced psychopharmacology to carefully selected supplements and genetic studies. My whole-person approach looks beyond symptoms to address fundamental pillars of wellbeing: sleep quality, movement, nutrition, and spiritual fulfillment. With laboratory analysis of hormonal, inflammatory, and nutritional markers, we develop solutions that meet your unique biology effectively
Mental health challenges are a normal experience - around 20% of us meet diagnostic criteria. I measure success not only by symptom reduction but by how you're achieving priorities and goals, engaging in life, developing meaning, community, satisfaction, and effectiveness. Around two-thirds of my clients have met their goals and live without side effects.
I particularly enjoy working with creatives, technical minds, thinkers, founders - those who are particular, curious, sensitive, and motivated. I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQI community, people of color, and those who have made the US their second home. We don't pause at "good enough" - I keep working until optimal results are achieved.

After careful interview, we choose treatments that provide a base (stability), those which may manage your biggest asks, and we consider "kingpins" - for instance, if we lift hypervigilance, better focus, sleep, and ruminative worry improve as well. I work by addressing the circuitry, revealed by symptoms clusters, context, longitudinal course - I treat individuals, which is a lot like sculpting.
