I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 15 years of nursing experience, with the majority of my career spent in the emergency department. That experience has shaped me into a warm, direct, and nonjudgmental provider who understands that people often seek help during some of the most overwhelming moments of their lives.
I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood instability, overwhelming stress, and substance use. I believe mental health care should help you make sense of what you’re experiencing without leaving you feeling more overwhelmed.
I became a psychiatric provider because I wanted to help people quiet the crowded mind. Mental health challenges can make everything feel louder and harder to manage. My goal is to help you understand what may be contributing to how you feel, explore your treatment options, and develop a plan that feels manageable and individualized to you. I want treatment to create more clarity and more room for you to live your life.
My clients should know that I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who values compassion, respect, and collaboration. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I recognize that each person’s experiences, strengths, and challenges are unique, and I honor the courage it takes to seek mental health care. My goal is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and to meet clients where they are in their journey.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wilmington
Searching for psychiatrists in Wilmington starts with understanding the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication care. Therapists provide talk therapy and usually do not prescribe medication. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, either psychiatry, therapy, or both may fit your needs. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care focus to see whether their background matches what you want help with.
Wilmington has local mental health care options across neighborhoods like Trolley Square, Riverside, and Eastside, but appointment supply can vary in a smaller city. Virtual psychiatry can expand your choices beyond nearby offices while keeping care tied to your schedule. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look for appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A bio can also show how they communicate, what conditions they often support, and what to expect in the first visit.
Psychiatric care in Wilmington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, with many accepting insurance and all listed providers accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
