How Intergenerational Trauma Shapes Relationships—and What We Can Do About It
Many of us carry and inherit stories, wounds, and pains we didn’t personally live through. More than just eye color or temperament from our families—we also inherit patterns of relating, coping, and surviving.

Facilitating Self-Agency in Mental Health Through Integrative Psychiatry
In my practice, one of the central goals of healing is to support individuals in reclaiming self-agency—the ability to make empowered choices, align with personal values, and feel a sense of autonomy in their mental health journey.

Healing is as much about rediscovery as it is about transformation.

Integrative Psychiatry: A Journey Toward Wholeness
When I think about integrative psychiatry, I picture it as a bridge. On one side is the robust science of modern medicine—the carefully studied pharmaceuticals, cutting-edge therapies, and neuroscience-backed insights. On the other side are the timeless wisdom traditions, practices that have supported human flourishing for millennia, including meditation, mindfulness, nutrition, and plant-based healing. The bridge is built when we see the value in both approaches, using them in harmony to support the unique needs of each individual.
