Reason for joining the directory
I believe that affirming, inclusive care is essential to mental health. I'm deeply committed to creating a space where LGBTQIA+ individuals feel understood, respected, and safe to be their authentic selves. My passion for this work is both professional and personal—having witnessed my own brother's struggles after coming out, I've seen how powerful it is when someone feels truly supported. As a psychiatrist, my goal is to offer compassionate, evidence-based care that affirms identity, builds resilience, and helps individuals and families succeed and thrive.
