I work with clients age 3 to 103 who are seeking thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care. Many of my clients come to me feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or discouraged because they still do not feel well despite treatment. Some are seeking help for anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, mood disorders, autism spectrum disorder, or treatment-resistant symptoms. Others want a fresh perspective to clarify diagnosis and make sure treatment is truly addressing the right concerns. I help by taking time to understand you and not just your symptoms by creating a treatment plan with you focused on relief and improved functioning.

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.
