I’m passionate about helping people feel more like themselves again. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your emotions, energy, or focus are out of sync. My goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that brings stability and peace back into your life.
With over 20 years of nursing experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals across inpatient and outpatient settings on their path toward emotional wellness. I believe that healing is not a straight line—it’s a journey.
Hello and welcome to comprehensive psychiatric services at DMD Health and Wellness!
As a General (Adult) and Child/Adolescent Psychiatrist, I am passionate about empowering all ages on their journey towards mental health and well-being.
I completed a residency in General Psychiatry and fellowship in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Georgia's prestigious medical college, one of the oldest medical schools in the nation. This expert, specialized training has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to understand the unique psychological needs of children, adolescents, and adults.
I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist, Board Certified Child/Adolescent Psychiatrist, and am also a Board Certified Pediatrician (triple-trained in General Pediatrics, General Psychiatry, and Child/Adolescent Psychiatry). I completed a pediatrics residency at NYC’s only academic Children’s Hospital in Brooklyn, SUNY Downstate, with additional pediatric and psychiatric internships at Brooklyn’s Maimonides Medical Center.
I graduated with my medical degree (Doctorate) with clinical accolades from New York’s oldest osteopathic medical school, NYIT.

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 Acworth
Finding psychiatrists in Acworth starts with understanding the type of care they provide. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma, or relationship stress. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both depending on their needs.
Acworth has a smaller local care market, so virtual psychiatry can help expand your options across Georgia while keeping care accessible from home. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, scheduling fit, and appointment format can matter as much as location. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, while others focus on evaluation and medication management. Reading bios can help you see each psychiatrist’s focus areas, approach, and whether they offer a brief consultation before you book.
Psychiatric care in Acworth can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower out-of-pocket costs and understand your estimated price before a first appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients and match your plan, preferences, and availability — so you can review bios, compare options, 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.
