Integrative psychiatry combines conventional psychiatric treatments with complementary and alternative therapies to address mental health challenges. It emphasizes a holistic approach, considering the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in promoting overall well-being. I work collaboratively with patients to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan that may reduce side effects and optimize medication effectiveness.

I integrate a variety of therapies, such as herbal supplements, nutraceuticals, mind-body modalities (including yoga and meditation), and lifestyle medicine, into my treatment plans. These approaches are used alongside conventional psychiatric care to optimize outcomes and promote holistic wellness.

Lifestyle medicine focuses on evidence-based practices such as nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, stress management, purpose, spiritual and social connections to improve mental health. By addressing these lifestyle factors, we can enhance treatment effectiveness and support long-term well-being.

Mind-body modalities promote relaxation, stress reduction, and emotional resilience, which are essential for managing anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. These practices enhance overall well-being by fostering nervous system resilience and positive epigenetic changes.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with mindfulness techniques, strengths-based, solution-focused, and integrative approaches tailored to your specific needs and goals.

CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders.
