Personalized Psychiatry for Women in California
You Are Ready for a Change
You've spent months trying to manage on your own, or maybe you have tried only to be left feeling silenced or unseen as a whole person.
What if there was a doctor who could see both your strength and your struggles? A doctor who understands the unique challenges women face when navigating mental health concerns that are often minimized or overlooked?

Women Business Owners & Entrepreneurs
As an entrepreneur, you face unique mental health challenges that go far beyond what business coaching can address. While coaches focus on business strategies and tactics, my psychiatric approach identifies and treats the underlying mental health conditions that may be blocking your success. Many women business owners struggle with undiagnosed anxiety & depression, ADHD, or other mental disorders that sabotage their vision and execution.
- Clinical assessment of conditions affecting your professional performance – identifying how anxiety, ADHD, or mood disorders get in the way of your follow through.
- Psychiatric treatment that goes where coaching cannot – addressing the neurobiological aspects of executive function, emotional regulation, and stress management
- Therapeutic strategies for navigating conflict and relationships – developing skills for managing difficult conversations with partners, employees, clients, and vendors.
At Bloom and Build Integrative Psychiatry, I provide comprehensive care that addresses the intricate relationship between mental health and overall wellbeing. My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric treatment with targeted lifestyle interventions to address root causes rather than just symptoms.
I create personalized treatment plans reflecting your unique experiences and needs by:
Integrating traditional psychiatry with holistic assessments
Offering therapy, medication management, and nutraceutical options
Incorporating nutrition, movement, and mindfulness practices
Providing longer sessions for deeper exploration and understanding
My goal extends beyond symptom relief to fostering resilience and sustainable wellbeing in a safe, compassionate environment where you are truly heard and respected.
