Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Charlotte, NC


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.
