Hello and welcome! I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 10 years of experience. My ideal patient is someone tired of pretending like everything is normal when it's not. Maybe your depression is keeping you from spending quality time with your family. Maybe your anxiety causes panic attacks every time you want to go out and have fun with your friends. Maybe you're on the verge of losing your job because you can't seem to get your time management under control or meet important deadlines. Or maybe you're just exhausted with keeping the mask on. If you feel like any of this applies to you, you've come to the right place.

Accepting new patient in person and online. About my practice, many of my clients have struggled with diagnosed or undiagnosed ADHD, anxiety, and depression most often a combination. I work with my clients to find the best treatment plan suited to the individual, not the diagnosis. I listen to what has not worked in the past and adjust the plan. I incorporate not only a medication plan but also therapy, lifestyle modifications, and dietary adjustments. I am OK with supplements only if that is your comfort level. I meet my clients at their comfort level and carve a path toward optimal results.

I treat anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, and PTSD. These conditions can leave people feeling stuck. What is often missing is clarity about the underlying cause. I help adults identify what is really going on and build a clear plan so they can think clearly, feel in control, and function at a higher level.

FAQ - Gender-affirming Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help transgender individuals?
Transgender individuals experience significantly higher rates of anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges. These disparities may be rooted in systemic issues such as barriers to accessing supportive healthcare. Many transgender people also experience gender dysphoria—emotional distress arising from a mismatch between their gender identity and the sex assigned at birth—which can impact mental health as well. These unique challenges often require care from mental health professionals who are knowledgeable and experienced in working with transgender clients. Supportive treatment is crucial for improving psychological well-being and fostering resilience in the face of ongoing stressors.

What does treatment look like for transgender clients?
Psychiatrists with expertise in transgender mental health possess a deep understanding of gender identity, the emotional and social aspects of transitioning, and how marginalization affects psychological health. They may prescribe medication for psychiatric conditions if necessary and ensure that such medications are compatible with any concurrent hormone treatment. Many psychiatrists also integrate or recommend evidence-based behavioral therapies to transgender clients. Approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or other trauma-informed care interventions can help transgender individuals process trauma, manage dysphoria, and develop coping strategies to navigate life challenges. Therapy may also support identity development, improve self-esteem, and strengthen social support systems.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in transgender mental health?
The Psychology Today directory is a valuable tool for locating psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in transgender mental health. The platform allows users to filter by clinical focus and provider identity. When reviewing provider profiles, look for inclusive language and explicit mention of transgender-specific experience. It may also be helpful to ask potential providers about their experience supporting transition-related care, whether they can assist with letters for gender-affirming treatments, and how they collaborate with other members of a care team. Practical considerations—such as appointment availability, telehealth options, and insurance acceptance—are also important when choosing a provider.
