A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is an in-depth visit designed to understand your whole story—mind, body, and lifestyle. Together, we explore your symptoms, history, strengths, stressors, nutrition, sleep, medical background, and personal goals. This allows us to create a clear diagnosis and a holistic, personalized plan that supports your mental health from every angle.

Medication can be a powerful tool when used intentionally and collaboratively. I provide thoughtful, evidence-based medication management that centers your preferences, monitors your progress closely, and adjusts treatment as your needs change. My approach is gentle, patient-centered, and focused on helping you feel stable, empowered, and supported—not overmedicated.

Psychotherapy offers a supportive, collaborative space to explore your emotions, patterns, and experiences with compassion and clarity. My approach blends evidence-based modalities—such as CBT, mindfulness-based strategies, and trauma-informed care—with an integrative focus on the mind-body connection. Together, we work toward improving insight, building coping skills, strengthening emotional resilience, and creating meaningful, sustainable change in your daily life.

Nutrition plays a meaningful role in mood, energy, focus, and emotional resilience. Using principles of nutritional psychiatry, we explore how specific foods, nutrients, and eating patterns can support your mental health. Together, we build sustainable strategies—such as targeted nutrients, anti-inflammatory patterns, and microbiome-friendly choices—to help nourish your brain and body.

Integrative and functional medicine looks beyond symptoms to uncover root causes. This approach blends traditional psychiatric care with evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle medicine, mind-body interventions, and targeted supplements. We consider hormones, gut health, inflammation, environment, stress physiology, and genetics to create a truly individualized plan for long-term healing.

Laboratory testing can offer valuable insight into mood, energy, hormonal balance, nutrient levels, inflammation, and overall health. I order labs when clinically appropriate and explain your results in a clear, understandable way. Together, we use the data to guide treatment decisions that support both your mental and physical well-being.

Pharmacogenetic testing examines how your DNA may influence medication response. This simple cheek-swab test can help identify which medications may work best for you—and which may cause side effects—based on your genetic profile. While not a standalone solution, it is a helpful tool that guides safer, more precise, and personalized medication planning.

Your gut health plays a critical role in mood, inflammation, nutrient absorption, and overall wellness. Genova stool testing provides a detailed look at your microbiome, digestive function, inflammation markers, and potential imbalances. I interpret these results with you and integrate them into a whole-person plan that supports both mental health and digestive well-being.
