Great to meet you!

I will ask you not only about your feelings, but also about how your body works – your sleep, appetite, sex, energy level, etc. Sometimes, supplements, vitamins or medical foods are can be offered instead of or in addition to medications.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am a psychiatrist who believes that not all patient's described issues stem solely from psychiatric causes. The brain is a part of the body, and sometimes optimizing the fine-tuning or your hormones, micronutrients, proper sleep, and more—can be more effective than medication alone.

What you can expect from our first session
