Functional Psychiatry

An integrative, science-based approach that promotes healing and wellness by focusing on the bio-chemically unique aspects of each patient, and then individually tailors interventions to restore balance.  This approach focuses on understanding the fundamental physiological processes, the environmental inputs and the genetic predispositions that influence health and disease. The interventions address the roots of the problem.​

​Nutritional & Metabolic Psychiatry

Addresses the relationships between the nutrient imbalances (which underlie neurotransmitter functioning) and brain related symptoms.  This approach addresses the relationship between specific nutrients, food and brain health.
​

Environmental Psychiatry

Addresses brain related symptoms induced by exposures to biological (e.g. toxic mold), electromagnetic fields/EMF and chemical agents encountered in air, food, water.

Holistic Psychiatry

The art and science of healing that addresses the care of the whole person and recognizes the complex interactions between one's unique physiology, their thoughts, emotions and "inner life" or spirit. From my perspective, this approach also recognizes the benefits of integrating left and right brain approaches to healing.  Right brain approaches help train our neurophysiology towards safety and trust in ourselves, our bodies, others and the world. Left brain approaches, such as those used in functional medicine, address the physiologic factors that keep our nervous system dyregulated. ​
