Are you LGBTQ+ or neurodivergent and struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or substance use? Maybe you seem "just fine" on the outside but actually feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or burned out underneath. I help adults who feel stuck despite trying therapy or medication before. My practice is a safe, affirming space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are. I offer integrative, evidence-based psychiatric care focused on real relief, clarity, and confidence you can actually feel. As a gay, neurodivergent mental health provider and person of color, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to your healing.

I’m Earl, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in San Francisco. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ adults, youth, and allies who are navigating ADHD, anxiety, mood concerns, and substance use alongside identity, career stress, and burnout. I provide psychiatric evaluations paired with medication management and psychotherapy.

My goal is to offer care rooted in deep connection, meaningful progress, and real relief from your suffering. I’m committed to whole-person wellness and to walking alongside you as you work toward greater clarity, balance, and feeling more like yourself. You deserve care where you are fully seen, deeply understood, and genuinely supported. I'm here with you
