Adult ADHD, depression, and anxiety specialist here. If you’re struggling with focus, chronic overwhelm, anxiety that won’t quiet down, or feeling stuck despite trying everything—you're not alone. Many of my clients are high-functioning adults, professionals, and students who are tired of “pushing through” and ready for clarity and structure. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 15 years in healthcare & focused psychiatric experience, I understand how complex mental health can feel — especially when it impacts work, school, or relationships. Why wait another day?

I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA+ clients and individuals navigating hormonal transitions—including perimenopause, menopause, and gender transition.
Are you looking for a more holistic and personalized approach to mental health? If you’ve tried multiple medications without lasting relief—or want care that treats the whole person—I offer functional and integrative psychiatry tailored to your unique needs. My approach looks beyond symptoms to explore root causes such as hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, trauma, and environmental exposures. Treatment is guided by lab testing and includes thoughtful use of supplements, medications, and lifestyle support.

I am a board-certified, Mayo Clinic trained psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst. My psychoanalytic training enables me to help patients both with their immediate symptoms and with underlying issues. These underlying issues, while not always obvious, can greatly contribute to and sometimes even be the cause of the presenting symptoms. This approach helps patients address their problems in a more comprehensive and lasting way; it helps them grow and become more content, productive and creative individuals.

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.
