Hello and welcome! I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 10 years of experience. My ideal patients are people tired of pretending like everything is great when it's not. Maybe your depression is keeping you from enjoying your hobbies. 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 tired of keeping the mask on. If you feel like any of this applies to you, you've come to the right place.

My ideal patient is a person ready to establish a true partnership in their care. Regardless of the conditions or life situations that bring them to me, I enjoy patients who are ready to request help, to honor me with their trust and their stories, to help me understand them as people, not diagnoses. I admire patients who advocate for themselves but are willing and able to place their faith in my abilities; who are invested in changing their lives; and who are interested in learning about the conditions that are impacting their lives and the potential treatments that may help.

If you're here, you've probably been holding it together for everyone else while quietly wondering, "When is someone going to help me?" On the outside you look like you're managing everything, but inside you're exhausted from the overthinking, anxiety, guilt, or pressure to be everything for everyone. Whether you're navigating womanhood, pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, a major life transition, ADHD, PMDD, burnout, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself along the way, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Our mind and body are connected and when either one is out of balance, the other one can be impacted. We will explore what is contributing to the symptoms that are impacting your ability to function optimally. This may include adjusting physical activity, sleep hygiene, dietary choices, vitamins, and practicing mindfulness. If the symptoms are overwhelming, we can also explore medications as an option. My goal is to help reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, ADHD, etc. through an individualized treatment plan and the use of genetic testing when appropriate.

Many of my patients are individuals struggling with some sort of undesirable symptoms related to their mental health and find me to see if medication may be something that can help them. Taking this step can feel vulnerable and intimidating. The work that I do comes from an innate passion to empower individuals to take control of their quality of life by giving attention to their mental health. I partner with my patients to discover and create a plan for their mental health that feels comfortable, doable and sustainable.

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.
