Behavioral health therapy and counseling are referred to my wonderful counselors and therapists ( LGBTQIA-friendly, of course).
I take great pride in being present and available as a gay provider for LGBTQIA+ persons for psychiatric medication management and to offer referral services for therapy. As a Nurse Practitioner, I am trained and certified in both adult primary care and psychiatry and have dedicated the last several years of my practice to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community working in sexual health (HIV, PrEP, Hepatitis, STD care). Through this work, I realized that there are so many barriers when trying very hard to connect patients with a mental healthcare provider.
