With 20 years in the healthcare field and 6 years in advanced practice, I bring a broad and diverse clinical background to my work.

As a dual-certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner, I approach care through a unique lens—integrating physical health and emotional well-being.

This perspective allows me to recognize how chronic illnesses, hormonal imbalances, and inflammation can mimic or even contribute to psychiatric symptoms. It also gives me a front-row seat to witness profound transformation.

In my practice, I take an inclusive, mind-body approach to psychiatry to improve clinical outcomes and empower patients.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 11 years of healthcare experience. Before specializing in psychiatry, I worked in the Burn ICU and outpatient procedural settings, where I learned the importance of caring for the whole person during some of life’s most difficult moments. I earned my nursing degree from UNC Chapel Hill and my Master of Science in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and especially enjoy helping people navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes—like school, relationships, career stress, or grief—that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

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.

233-A Merchants Circle, Hampstead, NC

I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife, with graduate education from Duke University and East Carolina University.

I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care and have a special interest in supporting women across the lifespan, as well as veterans, military spouses, and children navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life's many transitions.

My connection to the military community is both professional and deeply personal. In addition to my clinical training, I have spent more than 20 years as part of a military family. This experience has given me firsthand insight into the unique sacrifices, resilience, and often unseen challenges faced by service members and their loved ones. It has strengthened my commitment to providing care that is empathetic, respectful, and grounded in an understanding of military life.

For the past 12 years as a Certified Nurse Midwife, I have had the privilege of caring for women throughout every stage of life, supporting not only their physical health but also their emotional and mental well-being. It has been an honor to walk alongside women during some of their most meaningful and vulnerable moments, and I am grateful to continue that work by helping individuals achieve greater mental wellness and resilience.

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 Raleigh

Finding psychiatrists in Raleigh starts with understanding what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be one part of your care. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid starting points, depending on what you are looking for.

Raleigh has a range of behavioral health options across the city, from central neighborhoods to nearby areas around Cary, Wake Forest, and Garner. As you compare psychiatrists, consider appointment availability, whether you prefer in-person or virtual visits, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you understand each psychiatrist’s clinical focus, communication style, and approach before you book.

Psychiatric care in Raleigh can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, lets you check insurance compatibility, and offer direct booking, so you can compare profiles, review availability, and schedule a psychiatry appointment 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.

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