Integrative psychiatry includes so many effective treatment options. We will create a plan together that works well and appeals to you.

I treat Minnesota residents and will open to Californians in August 2025.

Psychotherapy
Therapy is a weekly therapeutic conversation designed to help dissolve old psychological patterns to make room for something new and enlivening.

• Psychodynamic therapy attends to the unconscious root of issues, interactions between the therapist and patient, and the symbolic meaning of words and behaviors. Yes, we talk a lot about your family.

• Somatic therapy values physical sensations as important psychological information. We learn how our nervous system works and how body-based practices can shift our mental state.

• Narrative therapy recognizes the healing potential of revising the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what is possible.

Medicine
I assess all molecules that impact the mind, from caffeine to cannabis, sertraline to SAM-e, L-theanine to lamotrigine, rhodiola to—you get it.

• Prescription medications are potent tools in supporting mental health. I prioritize informed consent, efficacy, and minimizing side effects.

• Supplements and herbs can be used effectively to treat psychological symptoms. I work to ensure folks are taking therapeutic doses of high-quality products.

• Open-label placebo means people know they are taking placebo, and there is emerging evidence that it can work for mental health conditions. I’m pretty much obsessed with this topic.

Climate distress encompasses the anxiety, grief, trauma, and despair that are part of living during the climate crisis. Climate distress is a normal, healthy response to what is happening to our biosphere, but without support, it can start to interfere with enjoying life. The framework I use to treat climate distress is called The Work That Reconnects, developed by Joanna Macy.
