MY TREATMENT MODALITIES

Guided by a belief in the power of holistic healing, I am committed to offering you a comprehensive approach that addresses not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes of your challenges. I will utilize a range of methods and techniques that include therapy, psychoeducation, lifestyle coaching, supplementation, and medication management when appropriate. By identifying the root causes of your challenges, I will be able to provide support that matches  your readiness, comfort, and unique circumstances. 

Whether you're struggling with hormone related mood disorders, grappling with life-changing events, managing ADD-ADHD, or seeking support for trauma and PTSD, I'm here to guide you toward a path of healing.

  • Integrative psychiatry doesn’t mean anti-medication — I believe in the value of medication while also exploring holistic methods to provide well-rounded support. If necessary, I can help by providing medication management to address underlying biochemical imbalances. Medications are prescribed with careful consideration of your individual needs to assist in minimizing unnecessary side effects. For extra support, we can integrate holistic methods to help you towards your goal in decreasing your need for medication.

  • I use methods derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DVT), Interpersonal Therapy to help patients foster self-awareness, set healthy boundaries, break negative patterns, process trauma, set new goals, improve communication, grieve and cope with illness among many other benefits. Don’t get too caught up in the terms, though—the important thing for you to know is I start the therapy process by listening to you and hearing your story, and then I give you concrete tools to help you understand yourself and empower you.

  • The best medication regimen in the world won’t help if your sleep, nutrition, or exercise habits aren’t serving your mental health. We will work together to identify areas for positive change. Change is no JOKE, but, I can help you take tiny sustainable steps forward that will create massive positive results.

  • One of the limits of conventional laboratory testing is that just because your nutrient levels are in the “normal” range doesn’t mean you’re meeting all of your functional nutrient needs. I can work with you to use the latest technology of laboratory testing to examine your nutrient levels, organic acid levels, essential and metabolic fatty acid levels, amino acid levels, level of oxidative stress, and presence of toxins, which will allow us to further optimize your treatment regimen.

    If necessary, I will recommend high quality supplements based on your individual needs. These supplements are sourced from 'pharmaceutical-grade supplement brands' that adhere to rigorous third-party laboratory testing, similar to the FDA's regulation of medications. These pharmaceutical-grade brands are standardized to contain the actual compounds, making them suitable even for individuals with food sensitivities. You can conveniently order these supplements through Fullscript, where I will add you myself and provide you with my provider discount for your convenience.

Change is as certain as you are reading this right now. Understanding yourself, your virtues and your faults, will help you embrace your essence. Consequently,  “to feel like yourself again”, “to feel better”,  “to become the best version of yourself” will change depending on your situation.

MY APPOINTMENTS + FEES

I am currently accepting new patients via telehealth in Arizona.

  • At our first meeting, we'll embark on a journey together towards improved mental well-being. This initial consultation is a crucial step in understanding your unique needs and crafting a personalized plan for your mental health. It's a safe space for you to share your story, concerns, and goals, and for me to listen and provide guidance. We'll spend time getting to know you and your current struggles, diving into discussions about your relationships, lifestyle habits, health history, and previous care. This appointment will last between 1.5-2 hours, ensuring we have ample time for a thorough assessment.

    During our session, we'll also delve into your diagnosis, thoughts, and speech patterns, especially during symptom flares and triggers. We'll explore your current coping skills and if psychotherapy will provide further benefit.

    At the end of our session, we will discuss recommendations that may encompass medications, laboratory/gene testing, nutrition, sleep, movement, supplements, and psychotherapy.

    We will take time to discuss any necessary high-quality supplements, which I will recommend based on your individual needs. These supplements are sourced from 'pharmaceutical-grade supplement brands' that adhere to rigorous third-party laboratory testing, similar to the FDA's regulation of medications. These pharmaceutical-grade brands are standardized to contain the actual compounds, making them suitable even for individuals with food sensitivities. You can conveniently order these supplements through Fullscript, where I will add you myself and provide you with my provider discount for your convenience.

    Additionally, we may consider genetic testing and review any previous laboratory tests you've undergone. I may also coordinate care with your family, PCP/OB GYN, and therapist, ensuring a holistic and collaborative approach to your mental well-being. This session is all about partnership and collaboration, with your well-being as my top priority.

    My goal during this consultation is to get you started on a plan to help you feel better right away.

  • For extended follow-up appointments, we allocate 50 minutes to allow for in-depth discussions and assessments. In some cases, significant changes may be needed, and these extended sessions are designed to address those needs. During this time, we will outline which symptoms have improved, which ones have worsened, and if there are any new symptoms that have emerged.

    Together, we will review laboratory testing results, examining various aspects such as nutrient levels, organic acid levels, essential and metabolic acid levels, amino acid levels, and the presence of toxins. We will revise lifestyle changes and make modifications as we go. We will continue to adjust your treatment plan based on these findings.

    If necessary, we will also examine your genetic test results to gain a deeper understanding of your body's unique characteristics. As your progress continues, follow-up appointments can be reduced in frequency and time based on your response to treatment. Rest assured, we will address all the questions you have before, during, and after treatment recommendations, ensuring you have a clear understanding of your care.

    In addition to any adjustments made to your treatment plan, we will also implement therapy, providing a comprehensive approach to your mental health.

    My goal is to offer the support and care you need to achieve optimal well-being, and these extended follow-up sessions are a vital part of that commitment.

  • For patients with lower complexity needs, we typically schedule 30-minute sessions. During this time, we will review your symptoms, assess your response to treatment, and outline any changes in your condition. We'll identify which symptoms have improved, which ones may have worsened, and if there are any new symptoms emerging. Together, we'll decide if adjustments to your treatment plan are necessary.

    The frequency of the Follow-up appointments will vary per individual case. These sessions provide an opportunity to check in about previous recommendations, discuss medication progress, and explore brief integrative approaches.

    I also offer 15-minute appointments, which are ideal for maintenance and regular check-ins. These shorter appointments are designed to accommodate your needs efficiently while ensuring your ongoing progress and well-being.

    My goal is to make your mental health journey as effective and convenient as possible, tailored to your unique requirements.

  • Shorter appointments for maintenance and regular check-ins provided upon symptom relief. Ideal for patients with lower complexity needs.
