Services

The choice to start medications is a personal choice, and for many, can be life-changing. Medications can help to alleviate your symptoms while you continue engage in the real work of making important changes in your life, whether through talk therapy, lifestyle modifications, or making different choices to reflect your growth. My goal is to give you a practical understanding of your symptoms, what purpose they have served you thus far, and offer you options on how to reach your treatment goals. I prioritize psychoeducation so that you can make the most informed medical decisions.

I have a special passion in serving members of the LGBTQ+ community. I offer comprehensive and specialized mental health care to gender- and sexually-diverse individuals. These services are designed to address the unique mental health needs, including issues related to identity, relationships, and social stigmatization. I have experience and familiarity with the challenges LGBTQ+ members face. I understand the critical importance of psychiatric services to this community. I welcome those of the LGBTQ+ community who are in need of a safe and nurturing space, to optimize mental health outcomes, foster resiliency, and cultivate a strong sense of self.

I am pleased to offer Telehealth sessions. On a case-by-case basis, I may strongly encourage in-office visits to optimize quality attention and care to certain needs. I strongly encourage that the initial consultation be in-person, and if appropriate, we can agree to engage in future visits via Telehealth.

We are highly resilient beings with incredible healing potentials. While I emphasize the biological basis for mental health conditions, I equally take care to provide you reassurance of normative variations of emotional and behavioral responses. Because we are both human and Divine beings, we must equally tend to our physical, mental, and spiritual health. You are unique and you are unlike anyone else in this world, so you require an individualized treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs, values, and goals.
