Psychiatric care for the whole you
Mental health doesn’t exist in the brain alone.
Mood, anxiety, focus, sleep, and resilience are shaped by the nervous system, the body, our daily rhythms and relationships, and the environments we move through.
An integrated approach recognizes that medication, therapy, lifestyle, and social context all interact — and that symptoms should not be treated in isolation.
Integrated mental health care means we look at the whole picture.

What to expect at Integrative Mental Health
You will be listened to carefully. Appointments are designed to allow time for context, not just symptoms. Initial appointments may last up to 90 minutes so there’s time to understand your concerns, history, goals, and the bigger picture of what is affecting your mental health.
Care is collaborative and treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we create a treatment plan that may include medication, therapy referrals, lifestyle supports, labs, collaboration with other providers, or other next steps.
I help connect the dots. When appropriate, I can help coordinate referrals for therapy, primary care, acupuncture, nutrition, sleep support, or other services.
The relationship matters. This practice is built for thoughtful, longer-term psychiatric care — not rushed, fragmented visits. Early follow-ups are usually more frequent, especially when starting or adjusting medication.
Flexibility is key. Care may become more spaced out when things feel stable, or more frequent when you need additional support. The goal is not to keep you in treatment forever unnecessarily, but to build a thoughtful, sustainable plan that continues to fit your needs.
