Holistic psychiatry is an approach to mental health that considers the whole person, not just their symptoms. My approach looks at your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being to create a comprehensive wellness plan that doesn’t solely rely on medication.
Unlike conventional psychiatry, which typically focuses on symptom management through medication, my approach is to understand and treat the root causes of your mental health issues.

Functional medicine testing helps identify the underlying causes of mental health issues by examining various body systems in more detail than the conventional tests you might have gotten from your primary care doctor.

It can include tests for nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances, gut health, and genetic markers. By analyzing these results, we can create a wellness plan that addresses your specific needs.
Absolutely! Recent blood work results can provide initial insights and help avoid unnecessary repeat tests. We can discuss how these results fit into your overall wellness plan.

Note that even with recent blood work, additional functional medicine testing may still be recommended.

Deprescribing means to slowly taper off medications in a controlled and guided manner to minimize withdrawal symptoms and side effects.
First, we review your current medications. Next, we identify any inappropriate, unnecessary, or harmful medications. Then, we create your personalized deprescribing plan. Finally, we follow up at regular intervals to make sure you feel safe and comfortable throughout this process!

Symptoms can include brain zaps (feels like a brief electric jolt to your brain), fatigue, constipation, insomnia, dizziness, irritability, and gastrointestinal issues. It’s important to do this process with a practitioner so you know what’s “expected” and what’s a cause for concern and so you can create a foundation to minimize these withdrawal symptoms.
