Resilience. Strength. Growth.
Adversity brings opportunity for growth.
No matter your challenge, having the right tools, framework, and process can help you emerge stronger.
ADHD
Targeted focus is key for success and growth. A multi-faceted approach to ADHD can give you the best results and reduce reliance on meds alone. In addition to evaluation and safe medication management I also offer Mindfulness and cognitive behavioral strategies to strengthen connections in the brain and improve emotional regulation, adaptive thinking skills and reduce distractibility. Nutraceuticals and nutritional approaches can support this process.
Mind-Body Balance
Physical symptoms like IBS, insomnia and tension headaches often accompany mental stress — but they don't have to dominate your life. With targeted Osteopathic Manipulative Treatments and Mindfulness to leverage the mind-body nexus, we can work together to improve these discomforts and restore balance- helping you feel better both physically and mentally.
Depression and Anxiety
I can help you overcome feelings of sadness, hopelessness and worry, and help improve motivation, sleep and focus. I can help you reduce panic attacks and negative thought cycles. All this helps you function better in relationships and at work.
High-functioning Autism
Living with high-functioning autism brings unique challenges but can also come with exceptional strengths. We'll focus on understanding and managing your specific needs while enhancing your natural talents, helping you thrive in your personal and professional life.
Life Transitions
Life transitions, whether career changes, relationship shifts, or personal milestones, can be overwhelming. I partner with you to navigate these changes using a holistic approach that addresses your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing, equipping you with the tools you need to turn these challenges into opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
Breaking the Cycle
Growing up with a narcissistic parent can cast long shadows over your life, affecting relationships and self-esteem. Together, we can identify these deep-seated patterns and work towards breaking the cycle, empowering you to build healthier relationships and a stronger sense of self.

An extra tool to give you that needed edge. OMT helps alleviate physical manifestations of stress and improves overall bodily function, ensuring you stay at the top of your game. For example, treatments that help balance your nervous system so you can better adapt to stress and get deeper sleep.

Tune in to your body's direct line to change the stress center of your brain through breathing and meditation. I guide you through techniques that help build razor-focus, expand creativity, and help you handle stress. Breathwork can increase heart rate variability (a good thing) and help you sleep better. Regular practice has been shown to improve brain health- making physical changes on the brain and building more connections. You become more creative.

Modern medicine now recognizes the vital link between gut health and mental well-being. Advanced stool testing can reveal imbalances, inflammation, and digestive issues, providing insights to optimize your overall health and mental clarity.

Stress-related adrenal fatigue and burnout can leave you feeling “wired and tired”, cause trouble sleeping, cause weight gain, mood issues and more. I offer advanced salivary testing to evaluate key stress hormones like cortisol and DHEA, providing insights into your stress response and overall adrenal health to help get your brain and body back in natural balance.

Your brain is the most complex piece of equipment in your body and only works as well as the fuel driving it. The latest technology of lab testing allows us to examine nutrient levels, organic acid levels, essential and metabolic fatty acid levels, amino acid levels, level of oxidative stress, and presence of toxins, which will allow us to dial in your treatment regimen to help with brain fog, anxiety or mood-related problems.

Genetic testing can give insight into how your body metabolizes specific psychiatric medications. This, in conjunction with standard psychiatric treatment, can lead to faster rates of symptom reduction in some individuals.
