Please feel free to schedule a 15-minute complimentary call to see if I would be a good fit for you (current wait-time: NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS). I treat each patient within a holistic frame that includes a review of the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors that brought them to me: we work together to make a treatment plan. I ask my patients teach me about their mood experiences/symptoms and to share their personal goals. My practice style is Integrative: I combine Osteopathic, Yoga, and Nutrition principles in my work and have specific expertise in psychopharmacology. See below for qualifications/credentials.
