As an ANCC-BC Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I specialize in psychopharmacological medication treatment of several sub-specialty populations: children/adolescents, LGBTQIA+, substance use/addiction (Opioid & Alcohol Use Disorder/Dependence), HIV/AIDS, and geriatric depression/anxiety & Dementia (Cognitive dissonance/agitation/psychosis).
I began 15 years ago with a foundation in psychology and social work, serving as a Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist. Throughout this work, a passion and desire ignited within me to expand my scope of practice, to truly practice with the most genuinely holistic treatment of the whole person. This realization led me into nursing, and becoming a Nurse Practitioner, enabling me to integrate psychopharmacological management, psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and the crucial connection between physical and mental health, into a fully unified approach. The ultimate goal is to effectively address the multifaceted needs of each client.

Medication alone is rarely the answer to mental wellbeing. But it exists for a reason. Namely, getting a person back on track to being their most stable, functional and healthy self.

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.
