I'm a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience in healthcare. My path to psychiatry grew out of watching anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout affect patients and families firsthand — and realizing that compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care could genuinely change lives. I work with children, adolescents, and adults across a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, grief, and life transitions. My care integrates medication management with therapeutic support, always tailored to each person's unique circumstances and goals.
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.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Decatur
Finding psychiatrists in Decatur starts with knowing whether you want medication support, talk therapy, or both. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and skills-based support. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see how closely they match what you need.
Decatur is a smaller city within the Atlanta area, so local in-person psychiatry options may be more limited by neighborhood, office location, and appointment times. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists in Georgia. Psychiatric medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read profiles for details on availability, session structure, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Decatur 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 cost before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and book directly with someone accepting new patients with your plan. Browse profiles, compare fit, and schedule when you are 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.
