Those of us in the mental health field are called to this work. We are driven by a desire to work in a healing capacity in some manner from a young age. We believe that an ideal psychiatric provider is sensitive to the vulnerable experience of being a patient. We feel privileged to walk with you on your journey to wholeness. We delight in sitting with patients as we explore your inner world.

We take a functional medicine approach to psychiatry meaning we seek to address the root cause of illness rather than use medication as a bandaid. There are times when a bandaid is needed while healing takes place. When we address underlying vulnerabilities and strengthen our neurophysiology, it's no longer prone to injuries which require bandaids. 

We also fundamentally believe that if we listen, truly listen to our patients, they will tell us what is wrong. Often times patients are shamed for googling their symptoms or coming up with a potential diagnosis. At Resilient Minds, we believe your intuition is valuable information. Western Medicine requires a problem to become so bad that it has a diagnosis before we treat it. In Functional Medicine, the body, mind, psyche, energy and sprit are acknowledged and addressed to reach true recovery. Our goal is for you to thrive, to be present in your body and engaged in the world. 

Resilient Minds psychotherapeutic philosophy is guided by relational psychodynamic principles, tenets of cognitive behavioral therapy, Internal Family Systems theory, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy and somatic and embodiment therapies. 

In good health, Resilient Minds
