My ideal client is an individual or family navigating the high-stakes intersection of complex trauma, neurodivergence, and hormonal shifts. They are often medically complex, struggling with the physical pain of fibromyalgia or the terror of panic disorder. They need more than a pill; they need a clinical advocate to translate their neurobiology into institutional access, like a 504 plan or work accomodations. They want a provider who leads with research-backed natural and integrative tools to move them from survival to autonomy. They seek root-cause answers because they’ve been dismissed by the system for too long.

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.

Hello, I’m Dr. Vala. I offer advanced psychotherapy with thoughtful medication when needed. I can be especially helpful if you’ve been in therapy before, understand yourself well, but still struggle with the same symptoms, relationships, or patterns.
If you’re tired of coping and managing and want to address problems at their root, we can explore the emotional patterns keeping you stuck.

When medication is helpful, I use it thoughtfully alongside psychotherapy and regularly reassess its role.

Many people I work with have felt rushed, judged, or passed between providers. They come with anxiety, depression, intense emotions, trauma, eating concerns, or substance use that has become a way to cope. Some are preteens and teens whose parents want to be part of the plan. At Lucky Cat Mental Health, our small team helps you move forward by making care easier: we coordinate with your therapist and primary care provider, handle prior authorizations and pharmacy problems, and connect you with support like DBT groups, so your treatment doesn't stall and you're never navigating it alone.
