When needed, I check your functional nutrient levels that inform us whether you are meeting your nutritional needs. I use the latest laboratory technology to check your levels of oxidative stress and presence of toxins. We can examine levels of your organic acid, various nutrients, essential and metabolic fatty acids, and amino acids. Your lab results will inform your treatment plan and any supplementation I recommend for you.

While working together, we consider life style factors such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, and social support. We also discuss your use of substances such as caffeine, tobacco, marijuana, alcohol, and other drugs. I understand that substances can get you through the day when you are running on an empty tank. However, positive life style factors will improve your resilience in the face of life’s challenges and setbacks. Since habits are hard to break, I will coach you through this process and provide the encouragement you need to stay on task. The amazing thing about lifestyle habits is that a small change makes a huge difference which can be encouraging. The new routine will become easier to maintain, as you start to feel exponentially better.

Ever had an odd reaction to medication? Do you feel like you get every side effect under the sun? Your genes affect how you metabolize medications and other substances which affect how you respond to treatment. I use genetic testing to better predict your response to specific medications.

Integrative psychiatry uses various treatment modalities including pharmaceuticals. Medication is often part of my treatment plan.

Herbal medications and supplements can have tremendous impact on your overall wellbeing and mood regulation. As my client, you have access to hundreds of pharmaceutical-grade supplements at a discounted rate and generally not available without a doctor’s order. During your initial evaluation, I order levels of certain vitamins that are highly implicated in mental health. We then customize a plan to optimize your nutritional status. I ensure that you are taking a high-quality formulation from a trusted manufacturer at the right dose for your specific needs. I also make sure that there are no dangerous interactions between your medications and supplements.

Ever heard of gluten or dairy sensitivity? Our food sensitivities can have systemic effects such as mood changes or joint pain. You may not be aware or be unsure of your food sensitivities.
