Life can be challenging, but accessing mental health care shouldn't be. If you're looking for a provider who genuinely listens, takes the time to understand your unique experiences, and helps you uncover the root of your challenges, I’m here for you. As a queer provider, I am passionate about supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community as they navigate their identities and experiences. My practice is gender, poly, and kink-affirming. I frequently work with those navigating anxiety, depression, suicidality, bipolar disorder, OCD, sleep issues, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, and autism.
I offer comprehensive and integrative psychiatric care designed to meet your unique needs. My approach focuses on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can collaborate to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your way toward mental wellness.
You deserve to feel heard, fully informed, and comfortable with your treatment plan every step of the way. Medication can be one tool in this journey, and my job is to make sure you feel informed of your options and empowered to make the best choice for you. I look forward to connecting!
