I offer warm, personalized psychiatric care grounded in a collaborative partnership that honors each client’s authenticity and inner knowing. My approach to psychiatry is shaped by more than 12 years of experience as a midwife and over 20 years as a nurse working with people of all ages and experiences. I bring a sense of humor into the therapeutic relationship, believing that both empathy and laughter can be powerful sources of healing.

I have specialized training in perinatal and reproductive mental health, supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, and other hormonal transitions. My approach integrates evidence-based psychiatric care with a grounded, trauma-aware, and midwifery-informed perspective.

I work with children ages 7 and up, adolescents, and adults for support with conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and autism. I value close communication with my clients’ therapists, recognizing the importance of integrated care.

I focus on:

• Adolescent and adult psychiatry
• Anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery
• ADHD and autism
• Perinatal and postpartum mental health
• Reproductive and hormonal psychiatry
• Holistic care coordination across medical and therapeutic systems

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, with 7+ years specializing with trans/gender-expansive communities.
I am a part of the queer community myself.

I offer tools, medications when helpful, and evidence-based support, but you and only you decide what feels right. This matters especially for women and AFAB nonbinary/trans folks in midlife who’ve been told their fatigue, brain fog, and emotional overwhelm are “just stress.”

After years with folks dismissed and hurt by the medical system, I won’t rush you or judge your pace. Whether you’re carrying complex trauma, anxiety, depression, or ADHD, there’s room here for all of it.
