I am a dual board-certified physician who practices psychiatry and integrative medicine, a mom to a child with autoimmunity, and a patient who experienced decades of chronic pain, brain fog, and frustration as I navigated our healthcare system from both sides. I started Dara Wellness to partner with you as you embark on your journey towards wellness. By providing the most up-to-date services in integrative psychiatry and whole health, we empower our patients to take an active role in their self care and recovery. Please email or schedule a discovery call at darawellnessnola.com to begin your journey.
Integrative Psychiatry includes traditional psychiatric practice as well as elements of Integrative Medicine, including supplements, nutrition, sleep management, lifestyle modification, and mind-body modalities such as reiki, and mindfulness. I offer telemedicine services so you can continue to embrace your life with as little interruption as possible.
I am board-certified in psychiatry and a graduate of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine's two-year Fellowship. I founded Dara Wellness to expand the Integrative Psychiatry model to all areas of the Gulf Coast. Dara is Irish for oak, a reference to the Tree of Life. Dara Wellness embraces it as a symbol of one’s whole health:mind, body, & spirit.
