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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Louisville
Finding psychiatrists in Louisville starts with knowing which kind of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and skill-based support. Both can be helpful entry points depending on what you’re looking for. If you want care for anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties match your needs.
Louisville has mental health care options across areas like Old Louisville, the Highlands, Downtown, and nearby communities, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. For psychiatric care, 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, check appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can help you understand each psychiatrist’s approach, communication style, and experience before you book.
Psychiatric care in Louisville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower out-of-pocket costs and get more cost clarity before your first visit. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated costs upfront, review bios, 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.
