Most people who reach out to me have been somewhere before. They were given a diagnosis in fifteen minutes, handed a prescription, and moved along. They arrive with the same realization: No one took the time to listen. No one asked about my physical health. No one ordered labs. No one looked at the whole picture.
That is where my work begins. I provide rigorous diagnostic reasoning, conservative medication management, and genuine attention to how medical issues, psychological patterns, and life pressures intersect.
My practice is tailored for individuals navigating high-stakes environments—executives, corporate leaders, academics, and clinicians—as well as older adults with complex medical-psychiatric pictures, and patients who have been told their case is “too complicated.” If you are ready to be taken seriously by a physician who sees what others miss, you are in the right place.
About Dr. Cartwright
I have practiced psychiatry for thirteen years, specializing in complex diagnostic cases and adults navigating demanding personal and professional lives. Before medicine, I spent years in investment banking and consulting — a background that allows me to deeply understand the corporate pressure, organizational dynamics, and performance expectations my patients face.
Over the course of my career, I developed Dynamic Integrative Therapy™ (DIT™) — an integrative clinical framework designed to produce faster, more durable insight than traditional approaches. My care bridges rigorous medical training, thoughtful pharmaceutical precision, and a deep appreciation for the cultural, relational, and systemic factors that shape a person's life.

“My experience with Dr. Cartwright has been very pleasant. I was treated in Mexico for anxiety and depression and the medication regime that I was given made me feel worse... following her expertise and guidance I can now say that I am doing a lot better.”
