My approach combines the best of conventional psychiatry with a functional and lifestyle-based lens to support true healing. Alongside evidence-based use of psychiatric medications when clinically appropriate, I evaluate and address the root causes of symptoms through comprehensive assessments. This may include both standard lab work (e.g., CBC, metabolic panels, thyroid, vitamin levels) and functional testing (e.g., micronutrient analysis, heavy metal toxicity, gut microbiome testing, hormone panels, and genetic polymorphisms like MTHFR).

Using principles of nutritional psychiatry, I explore the role of diet, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammation in mental health. Based on these findings, I develop personalized supplement protocols that target identified imbalances and support brain-body function. Lifestyle optimization is also a core part of care, incorporating guidance on sleep, movement, stress reduction, digital hygiene, and mind-body tools like mindfulness or nervous system regulation practices.

Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual, integrating medication management with functional interventions to support long-term resilience, reduce dependence on pharmaceuticals when possible, and foster sustainable mental wellness.
