During my residency at San Francisco’s VA Medical Center, I specialized in the unique mental health needs of transgender veterans.
I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in ADHD, depression, anxiety, and transgender mental health. I believe meaningful mental healthcare is more than just a pill. You want someone who’ll talk through your concerns, listen to your needs, and develop a treatment plan tailored to you. Alongside medication, I focus on patient education, therapy, and coaching. If you are looking for holistic and thoughtful care, I would love to meet you.
