ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Jonesboro, GA

Have you been feeling stuck? Struggling to get out of bed each morning? If depression, anxiety, trauma, or challenges from ADHD/neurodiversity are making it difficult for you to get through the day, therapy can be a great tool to help you find a solution to navigating these experiences. I have over five years of experience working in various mental health settings where I have developed specific skills and strategies to help you live a more meaningful and satisfying life.

Welcome - I’m glad you’re here.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, holistic mental health care through therapy and medication management for adults when appropriate. I take a whole-person approach to treatment, recognizing that emotional well-being is influenced by life experiences, relationships, stress, physical health, and daily functioning - not just symptoms alone.

Many of the clients I work with struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, burnout, relationship stress, or difficult life transitions that affect their ability to function at work, in relationships, and in everyday life. Often, they feel stuck in unhealthy patterns that are not improving despite their efforts and are looking for practical support, deeper understanding, and meaningful change.

I believe effective treatment involves more than simply prescribing medication - it’s about understanding the underlying patterns, stressors, and experiences impacting your mental health. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and individualized to your unique needs and goals. I focus on helping clients build emotional resilience, improve mood and focus, strengthen healthy boundaries, and regain confidence in their daily lives.

My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the healing process. For clients who value spirituality, I also offer faith-informed care and can thoughtfully integrate spiritual perspectives into treatment in a way that respects your personal beliefs and values.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate these challenges alone. Whether you are feeling mentally exhausted, emotionally stuck, or simply ready for change, my goal is to help you move toward greater balance, clarity, and overall wellness at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
