Integrative Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist | Internationally recognized expert on the negative impacts of screen time on the developing brain | Author, Reset Your Child's Brain My mission is to provide parents with kinder, gentler interventions for optimizing children's mental health, and to make changes that produce both short and long term gains.

As an integrative practitioner, I'm always looking for natural evidence-based treatments (supplements, food-based, exercise, light/circadian treatments, etc) that not only improve symptoms but reduce reliance on psychotropic medications.
