Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience in inpatient behavioral health, where I worked closely with individuals navigating acute and complex mental health and substance use challenges.

During that time, I had the opportunity to train alongside and learn from highly experienced psychiatrists and clinicians, which strongly shaped my clinical approach. That foundation continues to guide how I practice today – thoughtfully, carefully, and with a strong emphasis on getting treatment right.

I now work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and substance or alcohol use concerns, as well as other mental health conditions.

My goal is to provide care that is both clinically sound and genuinely helpful in day-to-day life.

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 Kernersville

Finding psychiatrists in Kernersville starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you’re looking for. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also prescribe and manage medication through their licenses. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and training to see whether their background matches your needs.

In a smaller city like Kernersville, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in nearby larger areas, so virtual appointments can expand your search. Psychiatry visits often focus on medication management and may be shorter or 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, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Provider bios can help you understand communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.

Psychiatric care in Kernersville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can compare bios, choose in-person or virtual care, 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
