As a psychiatrist, I endeavor to facilitate the growth of individual mental, emotional, and spiritual capacities, whether by optimizing effective medication for managing mood and anxiety symptoms or encouraging engagement in purposeful psychotherapy (or both). Practicing psychiatry over the past 14 years has guided me toward a realization that humanity is beautiful and that I am priviledged to have the opportunity to develop meaningful patient relationships, which, through the passage of time along with individual effort, promote personal acceptance, advancement, contentment, and peace.

My goal is to help you enhance your overall quality of life. I am interested in the development of the personality throughout the life cycle, how difficulties affect the experience of the self, and how medication and therapy can improve these (and, of course, improve your ability to function in the world.) The majority of my patients have depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, learning disabilities, trauma, Asperger's Disorder, relationship issues, or some combination of these. Often, after I have known someone a while, we move past the presenting problem into personal growth or recovery issues.

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.
