Welcome to my Website.
Though I'm a conventionally trained child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist, my current approach to mental health is holistic and functional (addressing root causes). On this website, you find information about my practice and consultations, my blog, podcast, video and access to live teaching sessions. My hope is that this website helps you connect the dots between the many root causes of brain related symptoms. I also share my collage art as a reminder of the importance of the "right brain" in healing and in thriving.

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.

Environmental Psychiatry

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

Nutritional Psychiatry

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

Holistic Psychiatry

The art and science of healing that addresses the care of the whole person. This approach recognizes the complex and constant interactions between one's unique physiology, conscious and unconscious thoughts and "inner life" / soul / spirit.
