Jane is a 48-year-old who in the past few months has come to recognize that her work productivity has not been what it was in prior years. Jane notes she has been having difficulty concentrating lately in addition to experiencing a lack of motivation and feelings of overwhelming exhaustion. She knows that she must turn things around if she wants to keep her career on track. Does this sound familiar to you?

I'm interested in a person's priorities, what engages them in life, and how they want to get there. I take a whole-person, root cause approach that delivers enhanced resilience and renewed feelings of wellbeing beyond "good enough”. I strive for truly well, without side effects. Integrative psychiatry offers solutions to support the complexity and sustained recovery of mood, anxiety, trauma, cognition/ADHD, and sleep-related challenges, including "treatment resistance," which may simply indicate the correct diagnosis has not been found, a biological clue has been missed, or a treatment strategy is not optimal.
