I founded The Center for Stress Medicine to change the way psychiatry is practiced. As a double board certified physician in Psychiatry and Integrative Medicine , I blend hard science with whole person care. My goal is for you to be more resilient after you recover from your illness than you were before. I provide precision care to unlock your brain and body’s full potential for lasting health, healing, and performance.

​

I start by offering comprehensive testing in search of root causes with labwork, microbiome assessment and genetic testing. Review of functional brain imaging is also offered if indicated. Proven and scientifically-based genetic testing  in collaboration with Genomind identifies genetic risk factors either before or after symptoms emerge. Less guesswork and coverage by most commercial insurances, Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Medicaid. The brain is not an organ we want to experiment with.

​

I call upon my additional training and experience in Sleep Disorders, Trauma, Addictions ,Eating Disorders and Faith Based Recovery when needed. I have been trained in various therapies; Psychoanalytic, Cognitive Behavioral, Choice Therapy, DBT and Imago Relationship skills though I typically work in collaboration with a therapist if indicated. ​

I have provided care for ages 1 - 101. Operating on a cash-basis model, my services are often covered by out-of-network insurance. We offer a complimentary 15-minute concierge interview to address any questions you have and to start your journey. Let's co-create an owners manual for your brain and body.
