Thoughtful, unhurried psychiatric care — for adults across Washington.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or just not like yourself lately, you’re not alone.

We're a Seattle-based practice providing secure telemedicine appointments for adults throughout Washington State. Using a direct care, self-pay practice model, we're able to offer longer visits, personalized treatment plans, and care that isn’t rushed by insurance constraints.

Our approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based medicine — with space to actually talk and think together about what’s going on.

Common areas we treat include:
• Anxiety
• Depression
• ADHD
• Stress & burnout

Virtual appointments available statewide.

If you’ve been considering getting support, this might be a good time to take that step.

Keep it simple.

👣Start with the bare minimum - it’s ok - small steps are still steps.
💪🏻Give your body and brain healthy fuel - especially in the morning. You deserve it!
🕺Move a bit - stand up to work, walk in place, put on a song and dance in your kitchen. Just move your body - it counts!
💦 Drink a glass of water - not with any set number of ounces in mind, but just because your body needs it to operate properly. More is still more.
🛌 Stick to a set bed time and wake up time and limit distractions. Beds are made for a few S words and scrolling isn’t one of them.

Most health advice collapses at the same weak spot.

It obsesses over “does this work?” while dodging the more important question: "if it works, how much does it actually move the needle?"

That’s how people end up debating supplement stacks and sleep gadgets while sleeping five hours and barely touching vegetables.

The attention goes to what’s interesting to argue about, not what reliably lowers risk.

When you zoom out and look at real outcome data, a pattern shows up over and over again. The biggest gains happen early.

Going from zero movement to *some* movement matters enormously. Two short strength sessions per week capture most of the mortality benefit. Regular sleep timing carries real weight, even before perfection enters the picture.

The curves are steep at the beginning and flatten fast.

That creates a mismatch between what works best for health and what the internet rewards. Consistency beats optimization. Initiation beats refinement. The boring habits win because their effect sizes are bigger.

I broke this down with concrete examples and data in today’s free Substack article (read at link below). If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by “protocols” or pressured to be optimal before starting, this one is for you:
