An Integrative Approach to Mental Wellness

Everyone faces challenges at some point in their lives and seeking support should never come with stigma or judgment. My role is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care with an integrative approach that helps you feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Together, we will find a path forward—one that honors who you are, where you’ve been, and where you want to go.

Conditions I treat

  • Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and emotionally drained from work, caregiving, or life’s demands.

  • Generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, and excessive worry impacting daily life.

  • Persistent sadness, loss of motivation, brain fog, and disconnection from joy.

    • Emotional and physical symptoms stemming from past trauma, including complex PTSD.

  • The emotional toll of autoimmune diseases, diabetes, cancer, tick-borne illnesses, chronic pain, long COVID, and so much more.

  • Insomnia, restlessness, difficulty falling or staying asleep, sleeping too much.

  • Difficulty focusing, managing time, staying organized, and balancing responsibilities.

  • Stress related to major life transitions, cultural adjustment, or navigating grief and loss.

  • The challenges of cross-cultural life, racial identity, generational expectations, and feeling caught between two worlds.

  • Emotional and psychological challenges faced by military parents, spouses, and service members.

Treatment

  • I take a thoughtful, personalized approach to prescribing psychiatric medications. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, I carefully evaluate your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals to find the most effective, lowest-dose treatment with minimal side effects. For those who prefer alternative or adjunct options, I incorporate holistic interventions, including supplements, nutrition, and stress management techniques, into the treatment plan. I also provide pharmacogenetic testing to determine how your unique genetic makeup affects your response to medications, helping us select the best options for your body.

  • Mental health is deeply connected to physical health, genetics, and lifestyle factors. I offer advanced diagnostic assessments to identify underlying medical, nutritional, or hormonal imbalances that may be contributing to your mental health symptoms. These include:


    ✔ Nutritional & Hormonal Deficiency Testing – Identifies deficiencies (such as Vitamin D, B12, iron, and thyroid imbalances) that may impact mood, energy, and cognitive function.
    ✔ Chronic Illness & Autoimmune Support – Evaluates how conditions like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and chronic pain impact mental well-being and provides tailored interventions.
    ✔ Functional Lab Testing – Looks beyond standard labs to assess inflammation, gut health, and metabolic function, factors that can contribute to depression, anxiety, and fatigue.
    ✔ Genetic Testing & Precision Medicine – Helps determine how your genes influence medication metabolism, allowing for more precise treatment with fewer side effects.

  • I integrate therapy and coaching techniques to help patients develop self-awareness, emotional resilience, and practical coping strategies. My approach includes:


    ✔ Cognitive & Emotional Processing – Helping patients identify negative thought patterns, reframe unhelpful beliefs, and build self-compassion.
    ✔ Stress & Burnout Recovery – Addressing work-life balance, caregiver fatigue, and high-functioning anxiety for professionals, military families, and individuals managing chronic illnesses.
    ✔ Cultural & Identity Support – Providing a safe space for first-generation immigrants, multiracial individuals, and those navigating cross-cultural identity challenges.

  • Stress and anxiety directly impact the nervous system, often leading to racing thoughts, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances. I teach scientifically proven breathwork techniques that help patients:


    ✔ Regulate stress responses and calm the nervous system
    ✔ Reduce anxiety and improve focus
    ✔ Improve sleep quality and energy levels
    ✔ Cultivate a sense of inner balance and emotional resilience

    ✔ Reduce stress and improve emotional regulation
     ✔ Increase self-awareness and focus
     ✔ Cultivate a deeper sense of peace and well-being

    Whether you're new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, I provide practical techniques that fit your lifestyle.

  • I believe that knowledge is power, and my nursing background has taught me to take the time to ensure my patients truly understand:
    ✔ Their diagnosis and how it impacts their mental and physical health
    ✔ Their treatment options, including both conventional and holistic approaches
    ✔ How lifestyle factors like sleep, diet, and movement affect mental health

    This education allows my patients to make informed choices about their care and take an active role in their healing journey.

  • Mental health doesn’t exist in isolation—it’s connected to every part of your life. That’s why I take a collaborative approach, working alongside your:
    ✔ Primary care providers and medical specialists to ensure coordinated care
    ✔ Therapists and counselors for an integrated, team-based approach
    ✔ Nutritionists and functional medicine doctors to optimize health and wellness

    Together, we create a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan that supports not just symptom relief, but long-term mental and physical well-being.
