My clients describe me as compassionate, spiritual, relatable, and trustworthy. It’s not enough to be “nice” to people. Showing up for others in a way that they feel heard and valued is so much more important. Being able to encompass all the great words I have received and be relatable goes beyond holding a degree and being a professional. Meeting people where they are and helping others find balance and purpose is at the core of how I approach treatment. I am passionate about women's health and specialize in perinatal/postpartum mental health as well as perimenopause/menopause services.

My approach in mental health care is holistic, being well aware of how physical and mental health problems influence each other; I may order lab work to check on potential deficiencies or hormonal imbalances, or order genetic tests, to better understand the source of your ailment and address it, rather than just treat symptoms. I also stay up-to-date with research in psychiatry, as well as general medicine.

FAQ - Psychiatrist Gender
Does it matter what gender a psychiatrist is?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, typically using a combination of psychotherapy and medication management. While clinical expertise is essential, feeling comfortable with your psychiatrist is equally important to the success of treatment. For some individuals, this means working with a provider who shares aspects of their identity—such as gender. A preference for a female psychiatrist often stems from a desire for greater relatability and the comfort of being supported by someone who may share similar lived experiences or perspectives.
What are the advantages of seeing a female psychiatrist?
Female psychiatrists may also possess particular expertise in specialty areas that can be especially relevant to certain patients. Although psychiatrists of all genders are equally qualified, some female practitioners have developed additional expertise in areas such as reproductive and perinatal mental health, postpartum depression, menopause-related mood changes, premenstrual mood disorders, and the psychological effects of gender-based trauma or discrimination. For patients navigating these concerns, working with a female psychiatrist may provide an added sense of validation, empathy, and trust—factors that can be especially meaningful in building a strong therapeutic relationship.
How to find a female psychiatrist
The Psychology Today online directory allows users to search specifically for female psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs), with additional filters for clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, insurance acceptance, session costs, and languages spoken. Reviewing provider profiles helps you assess whether a psychiatrist's background, identity, and treatment philosophy align with your mental health needs and personal values. Considering identity factors in your provider search, such as gender, is a practical approach to finding a psychiatrist with whom you can communicate openly and build an effective therapeutic relationship.
