Improve Your Mental Health

When prescribing, I combine my expertise as a mental health diagnostician and therapist with my extensive understanding of psychiatric medications and how they work. I am a “depth prescriber” and, in some ways, may approach treatment from a paradoxical position. My goal is to treat psychiatric symptoms to remission with medications, using the best of what the medical model offers in the process. However, psychiatric medications alone do not heal patients. Excessive reliance on the medical model can limit success and improvement. I feel it is important to approach medication management and treatment in the context of the whole person. Thus, when prescribing, I consider your physical health, emotional status, work in therapy, relationships, spiritual focus, behavioral patterns, eating and self-care habits, and all aspects of your life, for a holistic treatment perspective. In addition to medications, I consider supplements and other medical foods when designing your treatment program.
