Welcome! My goal is to partner with families to help clients live happy, healthy lives. Whether you've experienced side effects from medication or haven't seen the progress you hoped for, I'm here to work with you toward a solution.
Finding the right medication is only part of the picture — truly understanding what's happening in your life matters just as much. That's why I incorporate brief, solution-focused therapy into every visit and make a point of staying in close communication with your other providers.
As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I have extensive training and experience treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and a range of other behavioral health challenges. I also enjoy working with young adults in their twenties who are navigating the unique transitions and challenges that come with that stage of life.
I have a special interest in women's health — particularly during the perinatal period and menopause — as well as the unique needs of healthcare workers.
I bring a warm, approachable, and genuinely caring presence to my work in psychiatry. I am goal-oriented and thoughtful in my clinical approach, working collaboratively with patients to help them achieve meaningful and sustainable progress in their mental health.
I am known for my kind and pleasant demeanor, creates a comfortable, respectful, and supportive environment where patients feel safe, heard, and valued. Compassionate yet purposeful approach fosters trust, engagement, and positive outcomes in care.
Everyone's mental health journey is different, so I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. I take the time to understand who you are—not just your symptoms—so we can build a treatment plan that works for your goals, your lifestyle, and your values. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I care for children, adolescents, and adults through thoughtful psychiatric evaluations and medication management. Whether you're seeking answers, support, or a fresh start, I'm here to partner with you every step of the way.
I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with 5 years of experience working in outpatient hospital clinics and correctional settings.

My style is compassionate, transparent, and patient-centered. I aim to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard and understood. I believe in breaking down stigma and working together to find what truly helps you feel better.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Brunswick, GA
Finding psychiatrists in Brunswick starts with knowing what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want support with.
In a smaller city like Brunswick, local appointment options may be more limited, so virtual psychiatry can expand your search beyond nearby offices while still keeping care accessible from home. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. When reviewing profiles, compare availability, appointment format, and whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients. Bios can also show how a psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they work with, and what to expect from your first visit.
Psychiatric care in Brunswick can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, and you can review insurance details and availability before booking. You can review bios, compare virtual and in-person 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.
