Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I am a Psychiatric nurse practitioner who specializes in eating disorders, personality disorders, and chronic suicidal ideation. I enjoy working across the lifespan with individuals of all ages using patient centered care. I have experience helping those who also have physical conditions navigate the complexity of mental health. And as a part of the LGBTQ+ community I do my best to provide compassionate and gender affirming care to others in the community who have not found it. I believe each person is the expert of their own experience.

Having lived experience with mental illness, I went into the profession wanting to give my patients the care the care that took me so long to find. I never want anyone to feel rushed or misunderstood when seeing me. I want my patients to feel free to ask questions and get the answers they need.

I have worked in a variety of settings and have experience treating a wide range of diagnosis from anxiety disorders to psychotic disorders.

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 an LGBTQIA Therapist in Fort Wayne

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fort Wayne starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who names experience with LGBTQIA+ populations and the specific support you want, such as identity exploration, family or relationship concerns, gender-diverse care, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Bios may also mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or experience supporting transgender, nonbinary, queer, and questioning people.

Fort Wayne has a steady mental health care network, but therapists with explicit LGBTQIA+ experience may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping access local to Indiana. As you compare therapists, consider availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and what their profile says about communication style, therapeutic approach, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients.

Therapy in Fort Wayne can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
