Fusion Psychiatry PLLC

Integrative Psychiatry Practice in Houston, Texas

My Philosophy:

I help people who feel bad to feel better and live their best lives.

I treat people local to Houston or other areas of Texas by video who are looking for a more comprehensive and holistic approach to psychiatric medicine. If you ever had a doctor “throw pills” at you with little explanation, if a provider didn’t listen to you, didn’t explain, and you wanted more control of your own healthcare – then you are in the right place.

I am a board certified psychiatrist and prescribe medications, but I realize that people are sometimes more complicated than textbooks. You will get evidence based, but individualized and not “cookbook” or “checklist” medicine here.

Areas of Focus:

I thrive with complexity. I have expertise helping clients whose psychiatric symptoms such as PTSD, bipolar, anxiety, panic, and depression are complicated by other health problems such as thyroid disease, kidney problems, liver problems, autoimmune disease, concussions/traumatic brain injury, frequent pain, sleep problems, alcohol use, and other medical issues. These common problems must be considered for a mental health treatment plan tailored specifically for your needs, because they can make psychiatric symptom treatment more difficult. The patients who come to me have often tried other treatments in the past that didn't work. So now, they don’t want to waste time, and they want value. They want a renewed sense of purpose and meaning, they want better sleep, they want to improve their relationships, they want to be able to turn off their minds long enough to relax and enjoy being on vacation, and they want a treatment plan that works best for them.

It’s time for a personalized, comprehensive and holistic treatment plan that works for you so you can:

  • Have a renewed sense of purpose and spiritual meaning in your life 

  • Drink less and sleep better

  • Build stronger relationships with your partner, family, and friends 

  • Turn off your mind long enough to relax and enjoy being on vacation

  • Keep stress from worsening immune conditions and chronic pain 

  • Accomplish things so that you can start to value yourself again

Medication Therapy

My philosophy of giving medications is to optimize health and minimize harm. We will discuss the risks and benefits of your choices so that you can make the best decision for your health. I will discuss with you the short and long term side effects that we need to worry about, and how to minimize the risks involved.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a type of therapy that has been shown through rigorous testing to help with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, insomnia, PTSD, alcohol use disorder and more. This treatment involves focusing on specific problems. In this therapy you will learn skills such as changing your behavior and coping with maladaptive thoughts that are holding you back. Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a specific type of CBT that is used to treat PTSD. Both of these therapies are available and typically are completed in 12-16 sessions.

Integration of Lifestyle Changes

A healthy diet, consistent exercise, optimizing sleep quality, and laboratory testing to rule out medical conditions that can mimic psychiatric conditions are all a part of complete health and wellness management.
