Integrative Psychiatry: Personalized Care with or without Medication
Blending conventional psychiatric care and psychotherapy with mind-body tools, hormone support, functional medicine, and evidence- based complementary therapies to support individuals achieve greater wellness with less reliance on medications
Beyond Traditional Psychiatry: A Holistic Approach to Mental Health
Heartpoint Psychiatry and Wellness provides a personalized approach, focusing on addressing the root-cause of illness instead of symptom management. Medications can be life-savers; and I value their place in mental health recovery. I also understand there are people who have not reached wellness with medication and talk therapy alone. These individuals come to me frustrated by side effects from medications and are reluctant to engage in traditonal psychiatry. A personalized approach utilizing functional medicine, nervous system support and lifestyle optimization is how our approach can lead to more radical, lasting change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your authentic self and support you with the tools needed to move through life with greater resilience, joy, and clarity.
One of my specialties is women’s mental health—including support for menstrual cycle related mood changes, fertility challenges, pregnancy and postpartum transitions, and perimenopause. Many women come to me after feeling unseen or uninspired by traditional psychiatry. Mental health is not just brain chemistry—it’s deeply shaped by hormonal rhythms, life transitions, and the cultural pressures women carry. My integrative approach addresses these complexities with thoughtful, personalized care. I also offer psychotherapy support around common themes such as life transitions, unhealthy habits and addiction, relationships, sexuality, and gender identity.
