Physician Assistant, DMSc, PA-C
Serves Area
I offer in-person appointments in Winter Garden, FL as well as virtual psychotherapy throughout Florida and Illinois, and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community.
I offer psychotherapy for adults seeking greater self-understanding, healing, and psychological growth. My approach integrates Jungian psychology, family systems therapy, psychodynamic insight, and psychiatric knowledge. Together, we can explore dreams, recurring patterns, relationships, spirituality, and the unconscious forces that shape your life. I believe symptoms are often meaningful signals pointing toward deeper aspects of ourselves that seek recognition and integration.

FAQ - LGBTQ+ Psychiatrists
What are the advantages of seeing an LGBTQ-friendly psychiatrist?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions using a combination of therapy and medication. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for effective treatment. For many LGBTQ+ individuals, working with a psychiatrist who understands or shares aspects of their identity can be an important part of feeling safe, heard, and respected in care. Providers familiar with LGBTQ+ experiences may be better equipped to address minority stress, identity development, gender dysphoria, coming out processes, family rejection, discrimination, and other concerns that uniquely affect LGBTQ+ communities and can impact mental health treatment.

How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly psychiatrist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful resource that allows you to filter for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) based on their experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals. You can look for providers who identify as LGBTQ+ themselves or who mention LGBTQ+ affirming care in their profiles. Consider looking for key indicators such as use of inclusive language, experience with gender-affirming care, or a focus on trauma-informed and identity-centered approaches. It’s also important to consider practical details, such as whether the provider offers telehealth, their therapeutic style, and whether they accept your insurance.
