I am a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized mental health care. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and respected. My goal is to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and collaborative, where you can explore challenges openly and move toward greater clarity, stability, and confidence at your own pace.
My clinical experience spans a wide range of psychiatric and co-occurring conditions, including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related concerns, ADHD, substance use disorders, and personality-related challenges. I take a thoughtful, balanced approach to treatment, integrating psychopharmacology with psychotherapy-informed care, lifestyle optimization, mindfulness, and holistic strategies to support both symptom relief and long-term resilience.
I help by meeting you where you are. I take time to understand your story, your goals, and what truly matters to you. Together, we create a treatment plan that feels realistic, respectful, and aligned with your life. You are never reduced to a diagnosis in my care — you are seen as a whole person with strengths, experiences, and potential.

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 Augusta
Finding the right psychiatrist in Augusta starts with knowing what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists offer talk therapy and support through regular sessions. Both can be useful entry points depending on your needs. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and experience match what you want support with.
In a mid-sized market like Augusta, your search may include psychiatrists near central Augusta, nearby communities like Lakeside and Green Acres, and virtual appointments across Georgia. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling, appointment format, and availability matter. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading psychiatrist bios can help you understand each person’s background, communication style, areas of focus, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book.
Psychiatric care in Augusta can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and see your estimated price before booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients with your plan. You can compare profiles, review availability, 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.
