Transforming Mental Health Through Trauma-Informed, Affirming, & Equitable Care

Bridging the gap between mental health care and systemic change to support individuals, families, and organizations.

A Psychiatry Approach That Centers Healing and Systemic Change

As a psychiatrist specializing in LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and systemic equity, I provide affirming, holistic mental health support. My work goes beyond symptom management—I address the social, cultural, and systemic factors that shape mental health and well-being.

With experience in clinical care, advocacy, organizational consulting, and media engagement, I aim to challenge outdated models of care and build trauma-informed, affirming spaces for individuals and institutions alike.

Why Trauma-Informed, Affirming Care Matters

  • 40% reduction in suicide risk when LGBTQ+ youth have at least one affirming adult (The Trevor Project).

  • Affirming family support leads to significantly better mental health outcomes (Family Acceptance Project).

  • Trauma survivors heal more effectively when providers take a holistic, trauma-informed approach.

Affirming, equitable care isn’t just about mental health—it’s about survival, resilience, and fostering environments where everyone can thrive.
