Mental Health is a continuum and we have the power to improve it at any time. We can choose what to think about. We can challenge and reframe our thoughts. We can stop fighting change and accept the transience that makes up life and we can live by our own, intrinsic values to feel whole, true, and successful rather than by others' expectations. We can change our focus from inward to outward to create purpose, and, we can surround ourselves with good people and good energy that we can inhale and then go on to exude ourselves. Nourishing and honoring  our bodies with food and exercise, along with connecting through socialization with our fellow beings, can produce and release chemicals that make us feel good. Even the ability to activate our parasympathetic or calming nervous system is within our control, with a few simple techniques.

 

I believe we already have the tools to thrive in life, no matter our circumstances. I am excited to help guide you to uncover them.I believe in addressing the underlying issues more than simply treating the symptoms that are getting in the way of your healthiest existence. As many mental health challenges are caused by, or amplifide by, a less-than optimal balance of chemicals, I believe medication can be transformative. I am a medication minimalist who looks forward to discovering the least amount in the lowest dose for only the necessary amount of time to help support you.  

 

I consider it an honor to be invited into your world and I am excited to help you improve it by together supporting and strengthening your brain, mind, body, and spirit.
