She specializes in medication management and individual therapy, tailoring treatment plans to meet each patient’s unique needs. Dr. Knott is committed to helping individuals navigate complex mental health conditions, guiding them toward stability, resilience, and improved well-being.

Dr. Knott has extensive experience treating a range of conditions, including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder. She understands the profound impact these conditions can have on daily life and works closely with her patients to develop personalized strategies for symptom management and long-term recovery. Her approach integrates evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and medication management to ensure holistic and effective care.

Beyond these areas of expertise, Dr. Knott is passionate about addressing women’s mental health, particularly perinatal and postpartum concerns, reproductive challenges, and midlife transitions. She provides specialized support to individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and hormonal shifts related to pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. Her work empowers women to regain emotional balance and enhance their quality of life during these critical stages. Additionally, she offers gender-affirmative medical readiness evaluations, ensuring affirming and supportive care for transgender and non-binary individuals.

Dr. Knott serves diverse populations, including first responders, military veterans, individuals on the autism spectrum, and those coping with head injuries. She creates a safe and inclusive space where patients feel heard, valued, and supported in their mental health journey. She also conducts medical procedure evaluations, helping patients navigate the psychological aspects of medical treatments and interventions.

Outside of her professional life, Dr. Knott enjoys exploring new languages and has dabbled in Japanese, American Sign Language, and Spanish. She also loves spending time with her two children and unwinding with nerdy board games on weekends. These personal passions reflect her appreciation for connection, learning, and work-life balance.
