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 Garner

Finding psychiatrists in Garner starts with understanding the kind of care that fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists provide talk therapy and do not prescribe medication. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be one option to consider. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach so you can see whether their experience matches what you are looking for.

Garner is a smaller market, so local in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in nearby larger areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you find care that fits your schedule. Psychiatric 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 profiles, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, session format, and any free phone consultation details. Bios can also show how a psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they support, and what to expect in a first visit.

Psychiatric care in Garner 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 clearer pricing before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are ready to see new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated session costs upfront, compare bios, 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.
