Welcome to Brighter Balance

Your Partner in Integrative Mental Health

Your future should be shaped by your hopes—not your hardships.

Together, we can work toward a version of your life that feels lighter, clearer, and fully yours.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns of low mood, you're not alone—and you're not broken. I'm Dr. Holtski, a naturopathic doctor specializing in integrative mental health. Through my practice, Brighter Balance, I help individuals find real, lasting relief from anxiety and depression using a compassionate blend of natural and conventional therapies.

You deserve to thrive, not just survive—no matter what challenges you’re facing.

Why Brighter Balance

Convenient Telemedicine

Your mental health care should fit into your life, not disrupt it. With telemedicine services, you can access high-quality care from the comfort of your home, anywhere in California or Oregon. This flexibility allows you to receive the support you need without the stress of commuting or rearranging your schedule.

Comprehensive Care

I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. By addressing the physical, emotional, and environmental factors that contribute to anxiety and depression, I aim to uncover and heal the root causes of your mental health challenges.

Personalized Treatment Plans

No two people are the same, and neither are their mental health needs. I take the time to get to know you—your history, your symptoms, and your goals—so I can design a treatment plan that is truly tailored to you.

Ongoing Support

Healing is a journey, and I’m with you every step of the way. Once you’ve established care you’ll have access to an online portal for quick messages, regular follow-ups, and the resources you need to thrive.
