I believe healing happens best in spaces where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I bring both curiosity and compassion to every session, and I genuinely love learning about the unique story that makes you you. I’m thoughtful, a little quirky in the best way, and always eager to grow... both as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and as a person. That means I stay open-minded, ask meaningful questions, and work collaboratively with you to find what truly fits your needs. You’re the expert on your life; I’m here to support you with knowledge, guidance, and encouragement.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, I want you to know that you don’t have to figure it out alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move toward the life you want.

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.
