Hi, I’m Christine. I became a nurse practitioner because I wanted to offer more than rushed, one-time care. After years in urgent care, I saw how often mental health was treated as an afterthought, and I knew people deserved better.

Today, I provide psychiatric medication management for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other conditions that are disrupting daily life. My goal is not just to prescribe medication, but to help you feel stable and supported over time.

I take time to understand how you are really doing, from your sleep and stress levels to how work and daily life are being affected. We keep adjusting the plan until it is working for you.

As someone who came to this country from Africa, I understand what it can feel like to navigate systems that were not built with you in mind. That experience shapes how I practice. I believe psychiatric care should be honest, respectful, and tailored to the individual.

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 Kentucky

Finding psychiatrists in Kentucky starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or life transitions. Across Kentucky, available options can vary between urban areas and rural communities, so it helps to look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties match the care you’re seeking.

Practical fit matters, too. Someone in Louisville may have different options than someone searching for psychiatry in Lexington, Bowling Green, or Richmond. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare psychiatrists in Kentucky, review appointment availability, virtual or in-person visit options, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can help you understand each psychiatrist’s approach, communication style, and areas of focus before you book.

Psychiatric care in Kentucky can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see whether your coverage applies. Headway also shows Kentucky psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan, so you can review profiles, compare 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
