Welcome - I’m glad you’re here.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, holistic mental health care through therapy and medication management for adults when appropriate. I take a whole-person approach to treatment, recognizing that emotional well-being is influenced by life experiences, relationships, stress, physical health, and daily functioning - not just symptoms alone.

Many of the clients I work with struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, burnout, relationship stress, or difficult life transitions that affect their ability to function at work, in relationships, and in everyday life. Often, they feel stuck in unhealthy patterns that are not improving despite their efforts and are looking for practical support, deeper understanding, and meaningful change.

I believe effective treatment involves more than simply prescribing medication - it’s about understanding the underlying patterns, stressors, and experiences impacting your mental health. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and individualized to your unique needs and goals. I focus on helping clients build emotional resilience, improve mood and focus, strengthen healthy boundaries, and regain confidence in their daily lives.

My goal is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their healing journey. For those who value spirituality, I also offer faith-informed care, thoughtfully incorporating spiritual perspectives into treatment while honoring your personal beliefs and values.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate these challenges alone. Whether you are feeling mentally exhausted, emotionally stuck, or simply ready for change, my goal is to help you move toward greater balance, clarity, and overall wellness at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Happy patient looking away

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 Psychiatrist in Gainesville

Finding psychiatrists in Gainesville starts with understanding the kind of mental health care you’re looking for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may include an evaluation, follow-up visits, and changes to a care plan based on your needs. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, both therapy and psychiatry can be valid entry points depending on what you want from care.

In a smaller city like Gainesville, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger metro areas, so virtual appointments can expand the number of psychiatrists you can consider. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist offers virtual or in-person care, and what their bio says about specialties, communication style, and what to expect in a first visit.

Psychiatric care in Gainesville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your insurance, preferences, and schedule. You can review detailed 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.
