LGBTQIA+ Affirming

Mental Health Care in

New York and California

Finding a mental health provider who truly understands and affirms your identity can make all the difference.

I offer inclusive, trauma-informed, and culturally competent psychiatric care for LGBTQIA+ individuals of all ages across New York and California through secure online platforms.

As an LGBTQIA+-identified psychiatrist, I understand the importance of feeling truly seen in the therapy room. My clinical approach is informed not only by training and experience—but also by personal understanding of what it means to navigate mental health as part of the queer community.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, or relationship stress, you deserve care that is rooted in respect, sensitivity, and affirmation.

What distinguishes us from other providers?

Comprehensive Services

I specialize in working with:

  • Individuals exploring or affirming their gender identity or sexual orientation

  • Those facing family rejection, discrimination, or internalized shame

  • Clients navigating coming out, transition-related concerns, or gender dysphoria

  • LGBTQ+ teens and young adults managing anxiety, depression, and social stress

  • Adults dealing with workplace stress, dating, or relational challenges

Expert Psychopharmacology

As a psychiatrist familiar with the medical needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals, I take into account how gender-affirming hormones and other medications may interact with psychiatric treatments.

Whether you're taking testosterone, estrogen, or medications related to HIV prevention or care, I’ll work collaboratively with you to ensure your mental health medications are safe, effective, and aligned with your broader health goals.

My approach is informed, respectful, and grounded in current clinical research—so you never have to educate your provider just to receive competent care.

Integrated Treatment

Combined treatment from one provider means that you won’t have to re-tell your story over and over again with different providers.

As a psychiatrist trained in both psychodynamic therapy and psychopharmacology, I offer a unique and integrated approach to mental health care.

  • LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy with a relational, insight-oriented focus

  • Psychiatric evaluations tailored to your individual history and goals

  • Thoughtful, collaborative medication management when needed

  • Support for emotional regulation, attachment wounds, and identity development

This holistic model supports healing at both the emotional and biological level.
