My background spans both community and mental health care, including experience at a large community health center in Washington, DC, where I worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life circumstances.

I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).

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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fayetteville
Finding psychiatrists in Fayetteville starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you’re looking for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists, counselors, and psychologists focus on talk therapy. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, a prescriber may be part of your care. Some people start with therapy in Fayetteville, NC, some start with psychiatry, and some work with both.
In a smaller city like Fayetteville, local psychiatry options may be limited by appointment availability, office location, and insurance fit. Virtual appointments can expand your options across North Carolina while still giving you access to licensed psychiatric care. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare Fayetteville psychiatrists, review each profile for specialties, appointment times, visit format, and communication style so you can choose a psychiatrist who fits your needs and schedule.
Psychiatric care in Fayetteville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, check whether they take your insurance plan, and see estimated session costs upfront. You can compare bios, choose virtual or in-person care when available, 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.
