I am a certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with several years of experience treating children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in a wide range of treatment areas including depression, anxiety, autism, oppositional defiant disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. I have worked in several different settings and enjoy providing care through telehealth, which offers access to quality care when it is needed.
My path into psychiatry is both professional and personal. I moved to the U.S. alone at 17 while navigating complex PTSD and periods of misdiagnosis, which shaped how I understand mental health today. I began with a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Nankai University, then trained as a nurse and nurse practitioner at Charles R. Drew University and Purdue University.
Over the past 7 years, I’ve worked across medical and mental health settings, developing an approach that balances clinical precision with individualized care. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and complex PTSD, particularly for individuals who feel stuck or haven’t found relief in traditional treatment.
I’m licensed in California, Virginia, New York, Washington, and Oregon, and provide care via telehealth.
Board certified in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry, I bring years of experience helping people manage ADHD, anxiety, and depression across all ages. My background spans a wide range of clinical settings and diverse populations, giving me the flexibility to meet you where you are. I practice telehealth-only medication management, so you can access care from the comfort of home, whatever your schedule looks like.
I have been a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) since 2016 and have worked in both primary care and mental health since that time. In 2024, I graduated with my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) certification and have been working strictly in mental health since that time.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Blacksburg
Finding psychiatrists in Blacksburg starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and support medication management. Therapists provide talk therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach before booking.
In a smaller city like Blacksburg, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Virginia markets. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists who serve Virginia. Psychiatric care often uses shorter, less frequent visits than ongoing therapy, especially for medication management. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and how their bio describes communication style and session structure.
Psychiatry in Blacksburg 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 you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences and accept your plan, then verifies insurance details and appointment availability. You can browse bios, compare virtual and in-person options, 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.
