When life is weighed down by depression, anxiety or bipolar symptoms, it can be hard to explain what you feel or what you need. With over 20 years in healthcare, I have learned that you are the expert on your own experience. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I start by listening carefully, asking what would make today’s visit feel helpful and using that answer to guide our work. Together we build an individualized plan that respects your values, explains options in clear language and focuses on realistic steps toward steadier days.

You’ve built a life that looks good on the outside— yet your mind and body are quietly pushing back. Focus is harder, resilience is thinner, and rest no longer resets you. You’re not here for surface-level care—you’re here because something deeper needs to be understood and corrected. I specialize in medication management for depression, ADHD, anxiety, and complex trauma.
I work with high-functioning adults—and adolescents 12+—who need thoughtful, precise psychiatric care when standard approaches haven’t gone far enough.
If you’re ready for care that matches the life you’ve built, schedule a comprehensive evaluation.

Our society has been historically more sensitive to physical impairments than emotional ones. If others cannot see your struggle, it doesn't mean that these symptoms don't exist.

It is my passion to help my patients live to their true potential. I try my best to develop a good rapport with my patients and to get them to trust me. It is this trust and relationship that then heals.

Individuals and families who reach out to me feel that something about their emotional, behavioral, or developmental experience hasn’t fully made sense yet. They may have tried therapy or medication but still feel uncertain, stuck, or concerned that the full picture hasn’t been understood. Symptoms can overlap, shift over time, or not fit neatly into one label. My work with them focuses on building deeper understanding, creating clearer direction, and shaping a more individualized path forward, with the goal of meaningful progress and care that truly fits their needs or the needs of their child.

FAQ - Gender-affirming Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help transgender individuals?
Transgender individuals experience significantly higher rates of anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges. These disparities may be rooted in systemic issues such as barriers to accessing supportive healthcare. Many transgender people also experience gender dysphoria—emotional distress arising from a mismatch between their gender identity and the sex assigned at birth—which can impact mental health as well. These unique challenges often require care from mental health professionals who are knowledgeable and experienced in working with transgender clients. Supportive treatment is crucial for improving psychological well-being and fostering resilience in the face of ongoing stressors.
What does treatment look like for transgender clients?
Psychiatrists with expertise in transgender mental health possess a deep understanding of gender identity, the emotional and social aspects of transitioning, and how marginalization affects psychological health. They may prescribe medication for psychiatric conditions if necessary and ensure that such medications are compatible with any concurrent hormone treatment. Many psychiatrists also integrate or recommend evidence-based behavioral therapies to transgender clients. Approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or other trauma-informed care interventions can help transgender individuals process trauma, manage dysphoria, and develop coping strategies to navigate life challenges. Therapy may also support identity development, improve self-esteem, and strengthen social support systems.
How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in transgender mental health?
The Psychology Today directory is a valuable tool for locating psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in transgender mental health. The platform allows users to filter by clinical focus and provider identity. When reviewing provider profiles, look for inclusive language and explicit mention of transgender-specific experience. It may also be helpful to ask potential providers about their experience supporting transition-related care, whether they can assist with letters for gender-affirming treatments, and how they collaborate with other members of a care team. Practical considerations—such as appointment availability, telehealth options, and insurance acceptance—are also important when choosing a provider.
