Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Portland, OR


Welcome,

I am glad you have found your way here. I created this space for you to feel authentically seen, to access the parts of yourself that have been ushered into hiding; that depend on strategies like compulsively-spending, masking, frenetic cleaning, schedule cramming, and perseverating on nearly anything to avoid eye-gazing with the parts of yourself and your life that make you cringe.

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner and somatic therapist, and I support millennials like you, who are experiencing burnout as a result of adulting through late-stage capitalism.

I weave integrative psychiatry + somatic coaching with the

belief that you are and will always be your own greatest healer. I am here to offer skill, clarity + tools in that company.

Through this work you will undoubtedly find more ease, pleasure, gratification + gratitude in your day to day life.

I specialize in Queer + Trans mental health, ADHD, Anxiety, Panic, Trauma repair + integration, PTSD, Perinatal mental health and the nuance of being human.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Portland, OR

Searching for LGBTQIA therapists in Portland starts with finding care that is clearly affirming of your identity, relationships, and goals. The right therapist may support concerns related to gender identity, coming out, relationship stress, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare options, look for therapists who list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct experience with LGBTQIA+ clients. This can help you find a therapist whose background matches what you want to discuss in care.

Portland has many mental health therapists, and the number of choices can make the search harder to narrow. Location may matter if you prefer in-person care near your neighborhood, workplace, or transit route. Virtual appointments can also expand access to LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy, especially when you want a therapist with specific experience in therapy for gender identity, bisexual therapy, gay couples therapy, lesbian therapy, or LGBTQIA+ relationship support. Review therapist bios before booking to see how they describe their approach, the populations they work with, their availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Portland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can search for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists in Portland, filter by insurance, appointment format, specialty, and availability, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
