I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I provide care to children, adolescents, and adults, and my background in both family medicine and psychiatric mental health allows me to consider the important connection between physical and mental well-being.

I evaluate and manage a wide range of psychiatric and behavioral health concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar and other mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, personality disorders, substance use and addiction, chronic stress, anger and aggression, sleep concerns, and emotional and behavioral difficulties. My medical background also informs my work with individuals whose mental health may be affected by chronic pain, medical conditions, medications, or other physical health concerns.

In addition to my medical and psychiatric training, I have specialized training and certifications in various evidence-based psychotherapy modalities. My therapeutic work may include individual therapy, trauma-focused therapy, family therapy, and parent-child therapeutic approaches. This combination of medical, psychiatric, and therapeutic training allows me to provide care that is individualized to the needs of each person and family.

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 Therapist in Asheville

Finding psychiatrists in Asheville starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you want to access. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners may also provide diagnosis and medication management. Therapists in Asheville, NC focus on talk therapy, while some prescribers may also offer therapy. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach before you book.

Asheville is a smaller city, so nearby in-person psychiatric appointments may have more limited availability. Virtual psychiatry can expand your options across North Carolina while still giving you access to care that fits your schedule. Psychiatric medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare Asheville psychiatrists, look at appointment times, whether they offer virtual or in-person visits, and what their bio says about communication style, medication management, and conditions they commonly support.

Psychiatric care in Asheville 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. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who accept your insurance, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences for specialty, format, and availability. You can review profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after adding your insurance, and book directly 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.
