Relationship-centered psychiatric care for adults, children, adolescents, and families in Encinitas and throughout North County San Diego, with secure telehealth available throughout California.
At Seaside Psychiatry, psychiatric care begins with understanding the person—not simply the symptoms.
We take the time to understand your history, health, relationships, responsibilities, lifestyle, and goals so that your care can be thoughtfully tailored to you. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, ADHD, depression, burnout, sleep difficulties, a life transition, or a concern involving your child or teenager, we look beyond the immediate problem to understand the larger picture.
Our physicians provide personalized psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, and evidence-based lifestyle strategies in a calm, discreet setting. When appropriate, we also collaborate with therapists, primary care physicians, schools, and other members of your care team.
The goal is not simply to treat a diagnosis. It is to help you understand what is happening, determine what may help, and create a thoughtful path forward.
Psychiatric care rarely fits neatly into a single category.
For some patients, medication may be the right starting point. For others, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, or a deeper evaluation may be more appropriate. Often, the most effective care combines several approaches. At Seaside Psychiatry, we consider the full picture and build treatment around the individual—not around a predetermined protocol.
One Physician. One Relationship. Personalized Care.
You see your psychiatrist at every visit. This continuity allows your physician to understand how your symptoms, circumstances, treatment, and goals evolve over time. That is particularly important for patients with complex schedules, demanding careers, changing family responsibilities, or long-standing concerns who want psychiatric care that feels thoughtful rather than transactional.

Thoughtful psychiatric care for children, teenagers, and families.
Children and adolescents can experience anxiety, ADHD, depression, emotional dysregulation, school difficulties, sleep problems, and other concerns in ways that are closely connected to development, family dynamics, and their environment.
We take a comprehensive approach that considers the child as a whole while partnering closely with parents and caregivers.

Medication decisions should be personal—not one-size-fits-all.
Our medication management approach considers your psychiatric history, medical health, previous treatment, response to medications, lifestyle, preferences, and goals. We carefully monitor effectiveness and tolerability and make adjustments thoughtfully over time.
When appropriate, treatment may also incorporate pharmacogenetic testing, supplements, and evidence-based lifestyle strategies.

A thoughtful space for meaningful change.
Psychotherapy can help you better understand patterns, navigate difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and develop practical strategies for change.
We offer individual psychotherapy as well as couples and family sessions, parenting support, and therapy focused on life transitions, stress, anxiety, and personal growth.

Evidence-Based Lifestyle Strategies for Better Mental Health
Sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, recovery, and daily routines can meaningfully influence mood, attention, energy, and resilience.
We integrate practical, sustainable lifestyle strategies into psychiatric care when appropriate—helping you build habits and routines that support your mental health and complement therapy or medication treatment.
