Psychiatric Care That Looks at the Whole Person
Mental health is personal.
Your care should be, too.
Thoughtful psychiatric care starts with understanding what’s happening in your life—not just checking symptoms off a list.
How I Help
Psychiatric care isn’t one-size-fits-all.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are looking for thoughtful, individualized support for their mental health.
We start with what’s happening now, what you’ve experienced before, and what you need from care—and determine the appropriate next step from there.
Service #1: Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
When your child is struggling, the whole family feels it.
Psychiatric care for children and adolescents begins with understanding more than a list of symptoms.
We consider what is happening at home, at school, socially, developmentally, and emotionally, along with relevant health and treatment history.
Care may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, education, and collaboration with parents and other members of the child's care team.

Service #2 : Adult Psychiatric Evaluation
A comprehensive starting point for your care.
Your initial psychiatric evaluation gives us time to understand your current concerns, history, symptoms, previous treatment, medications, daily functioning, and the other factors relevant to your mental health.
From there, we can discuss clinical impressions, treatment options, and appropriate next steps.
May be appropriate for concerns including:
Anxiety · Depression · ADHD · Mood changes · Sleep concerns · Emotional overwhelm · Medication questions
Service #3: Medication Management & Follow-Up Care
Psychiatric treatment should be a conversation, not a handoff.
For established patients, follow-up appointments are used to monitor progress, discuss concerns, review medication response and side effects, and adjust the treatment plan when clinically appropriate.
Treatment decisions are collaborative. I want to know what's helping, what isn't, what you're concerned about, and what matters to you.
For established patients of Whole Health Alternatives.
Service #4: Therapy
Because sometimes you need more than medication management.
Therapy gives you space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and work through the patterns, experiences, and stressors affecting how you feel and function.
Sessions are individualized to what you’re navigating and may focus on areas such as:
Anxiety and chronic overwhelm
Depression and mood changes
Stress, burnout, and life transitions
Emotional regulation and coping skills
Relationships and family dynamics
Self-esteem and identity
ADHD-related challenges
Parenting and caregiver stress
Therapy can be used on its own or alongside psychiatric treatment when appropriate.
Best for:
Children, adolescents, and adults looking for ongoing therapeutic support in a private, supportive setting.
