Specializing in Diagnostic Complexity

A significant barrier in accessing gender-affirming care can be the presence of co-occurring psychiatric or personality conditions. I specialize in supporting trans and gender-diverse individuals whose psychiatric histories, including severe or persistent mental illness, may have made accessing care more difficult. I take a nuanced, comprehensive approach to evaluate how gender dysphoria and other diagnostic factors intersect with the goal to develop a supportive framework that facilitates timely access to care.

Areas of Expertise:

• Comprehensive diagnostic assessments distinguishing gender dysphoria from other conditions

• Evaluations for patients navigating complex psychiatric histories

• Collaboration with endocrinologists and surgeons who request detailed evaluations
