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.

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 Knightdale
Finding psychiatrists in Knightdale starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication; therapists focus on talk therapy and support. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be one option to consider. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach so you can compare clinical fit before booking.
Because Knightdale is a smaller market, local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in nearby cities. Virtual psychiatry can expand your search across North Carolina while still letting you choose someone who fits your schedule and preferences. 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, so it can help to read bios for details on appointment structure, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Knightdale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower out-of-pocket costs and see your estimated session cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to compare psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, take your plan, and offer virtual or in-person care when available, so you can review profiles 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.
