Sound familiar?

  • “I feel low, unenergized, and empty
    I’ve tried a lot of things and nothing seems to be working”

  • “Life feels pretty monotonous
    I used to care about things but somehow everything has fallen flat and empty”

  • “Stress has seeped into so much of my life
    it’s like I’m never at peace or relaxed”

  • “I feel sick or off pretty much all the time
    but my doctors and the medical system don’t have clear answers for me”

  • “I feel like I’ve tried everything but nothing seems to be working
    and to be honest it’s starting to feel pointless”

  • “Depression/Anxiety/PTSD seem Treatment resistant
    I dont’ know what to do”

You’re not alone in this.

The truth is…

53% of Americans reported feelings of anxiety, depression & chronic pain in 2023

(and that’s JUST the reported cases…)

Quite literally, feeling ‘bad’ has become a normal state of life – one where the Western medical system provides a couple of medicinal bandaids and sends you out the door.

But what if there was another way?

What if you could step outside of the ‘norm’ and find real, lasting solutions that *actually* get to the root of your issues?

(hint – you can)

AT BLACK PSYCHIATRY

We take mismanaged medications, treatment-resistant diagnoses and seemingly impossible situations, and create pathways to total transformationusing nutritional psychiatry, functional medicine and neural rewiring.

  • Nutritional Psychiatry

    A nutrition-focused exploration of the gut-brain connection.

  • Functional Medicine

    A combination of nutritional psychiatry, lifestyle analysis & comprehensive testing to identify root problems.

  • Ketamine Therapy

    Controlled injections and integration therapy used to rewire neural pathways & create dramatic change.

II’ve been around the block…

With over 25 years of experience studying physical science, psychology, nursing, mental health, nutrition, and a broad range of other disciplines, I have gained a deep understanding of one essential truth: single-faceted treatment approaches are insufficient. Mental health is complex, and the human body is equally intricate.

By adopting a comprehensive, integrative approach and utilizing the advanced tools provided by Western medicine, we can obtain accurate, actionable insights that enable us to identify and implement effective treatment strategies. By increasing our awareness of factors such as sleep, nutrition, physical activity, medication, and neural pathways, we can not only address the root causes of mental health issues but also avoid the risks of overmedication or inappropriate treatments.

Through the combination of nutritional psychiatry, functional medicine, and cutting-edge therapies like ketamine for neural rewiring, we can achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in mental health.

My goal is simple: to help you achieve sustained well-being and empower you to feel better, permanently.

 FAQs

  • Functional medicine is a systems biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. Each symptom or differential diagnosis may be one of many contributing to an individual’s illness.

  • Ketamine works to improve mental health and other conditions by rewiring the brain. As Ketamine increases glutamate production, the mind becomes more adaptable, and connections between brain cells are repaired to help regulate mood.

  • We accept Cigna and Aetna.

  • An initial 120-minute consultation costs $850 USD.
