About Me

I am a board-certified integrative psychiatrist specializing in adult ADHD, complex diagnostic evaluations, and integrative mental health care. Many of my patients feel dismissed, told they "just" have anxiety, depression, hormones or stress. In reality, mental health rarely exists in a vacuum. I focus on the complex, multi-directional overlap between neurodevelopment, physical health, and biological dysfunction. I help high-functioning, but struggling adults—especially women—uncover why they’ve struggled for years, building a path toward clarity, vitality, and long-term health.

Mental Health IS BODY Medicine and key to longevity--LIVING WELL. Untreated psychiatric conditions carry profound physical and lifespan risks—for instance, untreated adult ADHD can reduce life expectancy by 10–12 years (more than chronic smoking), while conditions like depression share a bi-directional link with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia and systemic inflammation.

Treating mental health isn't just about feeling better today; it is vital preventative care for your future.

My Practice Focus & Diagnostic Approach:

Deep Diagnostic Detective Work:
I perform extensive diagnostic intakes to evaluate multi-layered health factors. We look beyond basic symptoms to assess hypermobility, chronic pain, hormone shifts, nutritional status, metabolic factors (like insulin resistance), and genetic SNPs.

Advanced & Comprehensive Testing:
Clinical strategy is guided by both conventional lab work and advanced diagnostics, including functional medicine testing, targeted nutrient profiles, and neuropsychiatric evaluations.

Whole-Person Care:
Every visit incorporates therapeutic support. Treatment balances thoughtful pharmacology for acute symptoms with evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle optimization, social connection, and spiritual health.

Inclusive Care:
As a Christian physician, my work is rooted in service, and I am dedicated to partnering with individuals of ALL faiths, backgrounds, and beliefs.

If you are tired of temporary fixes and ready for a true diagnostic partner to safeguard your health, mind, and longevity, let's connect. HABLO ESPAÑOL
