Integrative-Psychiatric Virtual Care
In person visits occur at the Ballard Regus suite location most Wednesdays. Virtual visits occur most Mondays and Fridays. All NEW clients are thoroughly evaluated through interviews, screening assessments, and review of past medical records to establish diagnoses and plan a whole health custom treatment plan. Clients must plan on seeing me in person once every 6 months.
This website includes screening tools to help you to collaborate with your provider.
Although there are many online mental health resources, none take the place of customized evaluation and treatment as there are many conditions that share similar features. Online screens cannot take into consideration the complexity of your unique history & symptoms.

Whole Person Focused Psychiatric Care
Whole Person focused psychiatric care places the patient at the center of their healthcare and addresses the full spectrum of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect their whole person. You need a provider that has a strong background in Family Medicine, Nutritional medicine, Functional medicine, and understands influences on psychiatric conditions. Many physical and emotional conditions share similar symptoms and are greatly influenced by nutrition, genetics, and environment.
