You may be feeling stuck after trying multiple treatments that haven’t brought lasting relief. Anxiety, panic, trauma, depression, or mood instability may be affecting your relationships, work, or sense of self. You’re seeking care that looks beyond symptom suppression and considers the whole person—mind, body, and lived experience. You want thoughtful, individualized treatment, clear education, and options that align with your values, curiosity, and desire for meaningful healing rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
I specialize in integrative psychiatry, combining evidence-based medication management with advanced treatments such as Spravato, Ketamine and medical Cannabis. I also support individuals interested in psychedelic-informed care and harm reduction. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and focused on thoughtful, personalized treatment planning.
Reaching out for help can feel daunting, especially if past treatments haven’t worked. You deserve care that respects your experience and explores all appropriate options. If you’re looking for a provider who listens, educates, and partners with you in your care, I welcome the opportunity to support your next steps.
