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 Cary

Finding psychiatrists in Cary starts with knowing whether you need talk therapy, medication support, or both. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management usually includes reviewing symptoms, tracking how your care plan is working, and making adjustments with a qualified prescriber. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and related concerns. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, clinical background, and approach match the kind of support you want.

Cary is a smaller market, so local in-person psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger cities nearby. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you choose someone licensed in North Carolina. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber, depending on their care needs. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s bio for availability, appointment format, specialties, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Psychiatric care in Cary can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected payment before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients and match your insurance plan. You can add your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, compare 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.
