As a mental health provider at At Plus by APN, we provide neurotechnology and integrative psychiatry services, including dTMS, Ketamine-Assisted Healing, Stellate Ganglion Block, and Neurofeedback. Traditional healthcare holds a significant line between physical healthcare and mental healthcare. We don’t. A fulfilling, healthy life requires well-being for both your mind and your body. It shouldn’t be so rare for healthcare providers to integrate the two. We set out to help people everywhere pursue mental and physical health at the same time, under the same umbrella – All Points North.

I am a psychiatrist with a wide array of interests and skills, including psychedelic medicines such as Ketamine for the use of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. I have completed level one training in Internal Family Systems, or IFS. IFS can be done effectively virtually or in person, with or without psychedelic medicine, and eventually, on one's own without the help of a therapist. It is a transformational, deep healing of the wounded/burdened parts of our inner children that affect how we live and relate to the world as adults, often resulting in self-sabotage.
