I will ask you not only about your feelings, but also about how your body is functioning — including your sleep, appetite, sexual health, energy level, and more. In some cases, supplements, vitamins, or medical foods can be offered instead of, or in addition to, medications.
I am a psychiatrist who recognizes that not all symptoms patients describe stem solely from psychiatric causes. The brain is part of the body, and sometimes optimizing hormones, correcting micronutrient imbalances, improving sleep, and addressing other physiological factors can be more effective than medication alone.
I see myself as a consultant in your mental health journey. I will provide you with a range of options, but ultimately, I will allow you to decide which approach best fits your style and needs.
