You’re in the right place if…
You feel wired-tired, overwhelmed, or reactive to small stressors
Anxiety, panic, or rumination keeps looping no matter what you try
Low mood, irritability, or emotional “numbness” is becoming your normal
ADHD-like symptoms: scattered focus, procrastination, poor follow-through
Sleep is light, unrefreshing, or you wake at 2–4 AM
You crash after socializing, work, or overstimulation
Your mental health worsens with hormones, gut issues, inflammation, or burnout
Mental health is not “just in your head.” It’s influenced by physiology—stress hormones, inflammation, blood sugar stability, nutrient status, gut-brain signaling, sleep architecture, trauma physiology, and environmental load. My role is to identify your unique drivers and build a plan that helps your nervous system regain flexibility and stability.
Root-cause assessment
Symptoms are signals. We look for patterns and drivers.
Lab-informed strategy
Targeted testing when helpful, not random panels.
Practical, sustainable plans
Clear steps you can actually do in real life.
