Welcome to my Website.
Though conventionally trained in child, adolescent and adult psychiatry, my current approach to mental health is holistic and functional (addressing root causes). On this website, you'll find information about my tele-health practice, non-patient consultations, podcast and newsletter. My hope is to help 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.
Nutritional 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. This approach recognizes the complex and constant interactions between one's unique physiology (as described above), their thoughts, emotions and "inner life" or spirit. As I see it, 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 factors such as nutrient imbalances, sources of toxicity or microbial colonizations that can be keep our body in a state of fight, flight or shutdown.
