I believe meaningful healing begins when individuals feel seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I bring over four years of clinical counseling experience, along with more than twenty-two years as a school psychologist, to support children, individuals, and families.

With more than two decades in education, I became deeply aware of how essential mental health support is for children and families. I witnessed firsthand how emotional challenges can affect learning, relationships, and overall well-being—and how transformative the right support can be.

These experiences led me to pursue a career in mental health counseling. Today, I partner with adults to help them build a strong, grounded foundation for themselves, one that naturally extends to their children and strengthens the family as a whole. I also remain committed to supporting teens as they enter adulthood, helping them develop the tools and confidence needed for lifelong well-being.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

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.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Charlotte

Finding postpartum therapists in Charlotte starts with choosing someone who has experience with perinatal mental health concerns. Postpartum support can include care for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, pregnancy loss, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for specialties that match your needs, such as perinatal mental health counseling, postpartum counseling, pregnancy therapy, or therapy for new parents. A perinatal mental health certification, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal added training in care during pregnancy and after birth.

Charlotte has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Uptown, South End, NoDa, Dilworth, and Ballantyne, which can make it harder to narrow the search. For new parents, practical details matter. An unpredictable schedule, infant care, physical recovery, commute time, and appointment format can all shape which therapist is a usable fit. Virtual care can make access easier when leaving home is harder, while in-person sessions may work better if you prefer a dedicated space. Read therapist bios before booking to understand their approach, session style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Charlotte 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 cost before you book. Headway helps you search for postpartum mental health therapists in Charlotte who are accepting new patients, and many accept insurance. You can compare therapists by specialty, availability, session format, and bio, then book directly when you’re ready.
