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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Psychiatrist in Jonesboro
Finding psychiatrists in Jonesboro starts with understanding the type of care you want to book. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Psychiatric care often includes medication management, which means reviewing symptoms, discussing how care is going, and adjusting the plan when appropriate. People often look for this kind of support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or related concerns. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid starting points, depending on your needs.
In a smaller city like Jonesboro, the number of local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can expand your options beyond nearby offices. Medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, which can make appointment timing, availability, and format especially important. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read each psychiatrist’s bio to understand their specialties, appointment style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Jonesboro 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 you book. Headway helps you search psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences for care format, availability, and focus areas. You can browse profiles, 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.
