I am a certified holistic psychiatrist that teaches a spiritual based mental health discipline. I focus on natural healing techniques that promote the body's innate ability to heal itself.
Through an emphasis on breathwork, and other natural healing techniques I help my patients feel empowered to overcome their programming, conditioning, and traumas so that they can realize the greatness that lies within themselves.
Make AppointmentDo you feel like doctors have been medicating you, but not fully understanding you?
I work with my patients through an integrative and spiritual approach to not only treat mental illness but to promote physical, mental, and energetic wellness. To do this, we will emphasize using medications for psychiatric stabilization with a common long term goal of tapering off of medications while optimizing natural healing techniques to accomplish a sustained state of wellbeing.
I work with my patients to overcome the mental health challenges they are facing. Together we will use an integrative approach to mental that helps them achieve a sustained wellbeing.
Are you seeking a psychiatrist who is passionate about what he does and who takes an integrative and spiritual approach to mental health? Are you seeking a psychiatrist who is comfortable with alternative, holistic, and complementary treatments while having a judicious and conservative approach to psychiatric medications?

Prior to our first visit, we can connect on the phone for a brief 5-10 minute conversation to ensure that we are a good fit to work together.

During our first visit, I will strive to be completely present with you. This means, I will not be typing and you will have my undivided attention and care.
We may utilize breath work to arrive in a relaxed and present state of being.
We will then proceed to engage in open and honest dialogue and everything we speak about will remain confidential.
We will explore your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health and examine areas of strength, and areas that we may want to bring into balance. We will discuss symptoms, without placing you into a box of a diagnosis. When we feel there is a mutual understanding of the desired outcome of treatment we will formulate a realistic, specific treatment plan geared towards eradicating symptoms by addressing the root cause. We will ensure that you have the adequate knowledge, tools, medication (if necessary), supplements, and support to make progress towards your goal of becoming the best version of yourself.
