I diagnose and treat mental illness, make an individualized treatment plan and prescribe medication using a holistic and integrative approach, utilizing both conventional and complementary treatments. I integrate supplements and alternative therapies alongside or instead of traditional medication.

I treat each person as an individual, treating the root of the problem instead of just the symptoms using a holistic integrative approach by looking at gut health, diet and lifestyle habits, relationships/trauma and adding conventional medications if necessary.
