It’s not all in your head

For too long you’ve been told that if you could just take more medications… or take them more consistently, or take different ones, or try therapy again… or try a different kind of therapy, it would would all eventually snap into place and your life would make sense again. But it hasn’t worked out that way.

You’ve tried different practitioners and therapists or you weren’t even able to find one that understands and applies what I’m about to tell you. You see, if you’re going to build a puzzle it’s important to make sure you have all the right pieces in place before you start. Otherwise, your experience is going to be very frustrating and full of disappointment. For too long you’ve been building without some really important pieces.

Did you know that there are over 20 different physical conditions that can show up as mental health symptoms? You might have severe panic attacks, generalized anxiety, depression, severe mood swings, or even auditory hallucinations caused by disorders in your body. That’s right. It’s important to make sure your body is functioning like it should, before you start tackling mental health symptoms.

While I do provide therapy and medication management, I don’t believe it should be the goal for everybody and for all time. I specialize in applying all missing pieces into your care. Whether it’s your childhood experiences changing how your body responds to stress… or how your hormones are affecting your mood… or how your genetics are reducing the effectiveness of your medications… I go through it all. I can also address the side effects of your medication, so you can have happier and more fulfilling relationships. And (when the time is right) we can work towards getting you down to the lowest medication dose possible (tapering/de-prescribing).

As your doctor, my priority is to uncover and address the hidden causes of your condition. I will help you understand what’s taking place in your body by looking at the physical & mental conditions that could be hindering your mental wellness. Together, we’ll make an action plan that will use all the pieces that are important to your peace and stability using the latest specialty tests, holistic methods, and most effective therapies for long-term healing. I aim to use the most convenient, and most effective holistic & integrative therapies to help you feel well, happy, and hopeful again. Let’s get started today!
