I take a different approach to mental health care—because you deserve more than a quick fix. If you’ve been told “this is just how it is” or feel like something is being missed, you’re not alone. While I do specialize in psychiatric medication management, I focus on truly understanding what’s going on beneath the surface. I strive to uncover the WHY behind how you’re feeling so you can finally start moving forward as I provide care with the same thoughtfulness, compassion, and attention I would give my own family.
ADHD and substance abuse are two of my specialties, but I also have extensive experience with anxiety, depression, OCD and mood disorders. I take a whole-body approach, incorporating functional medicine to explore how gut health, hormones, nutrient deficiencies, and lifestyle impact mental health.
My passion for helping people has always been rooted in truly listening and looking beyond the surface. Over the years, I've met many individuals who felt frustrated, dismissed, or stuck without answers. The desire to provide a deeper level of care led me to open Birch Root Integrative Care. You deserve answers, hope, and the chance to truly feel well again.
