Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


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.

NOW ACCEPTING AND SERVING CHILDREN!! Have you ever felt lost or lonely while in a familiar or crowed place? Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations. I first developed a passion for therapy when I hit a roadblock in my own life and was struggling to move past it. I specialize in helping people identify and achieve their personal goals by coping with the issues that are causing them distress, anxiety, and discomfort.


Unfortunately, life doesn't always allow us to be the best version of ourselves. With my help, you'll learn about acceptance and how to exert your power of choice over whatever life may throw at you. I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients.


My job is to give you the tools and techniques to achieve a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. After several sessions, you will become well-versed at handling issues whenever and wherever they arise. Let's work together to put your life back in focus. I look forward to working with you.
