Hi! I'm a dual-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, with 6 years working as an APRN with adults and children. My focus is ADHD, burnout, stress, anxiety, and depression, you know, the stuff that shows up in daily life and makes everything feel harder than it should. I handle psychiatric evaluations and medication management, and I actually enjoy the process of figuring out what works for you, not just what works in general.

I believe the best mental health care begins with trust, compassion, and open communication. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences without fear of judgment.

I understand that reaching out for help isn't always easy, and I strive to meet each person where they are. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, life transitions, trauma, ADHD, or simply feeling overwhelmed, we'll work together to develop a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.

I take a collaborative approach to care, combining evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy, education, and practical coping strategies. I want my clients to understand not only what we're treating but why certain treatments may be beneficial, so they feel informed and involved in every decision.

With years of experience in psychiatric care across inpatient and outpatient settings, I've worked with individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges. I believe healing isn't about being perfect—it's about making meaningful progress, building resilience, and finding balance in everyday life.

My hope is that every client leaves our appointments feeling heard, respected, and supported.

My practice is a good fit for clients who are looking for:

  • Compassionate, nonjudgmental care
  • Medication management with education and shared decision-making
  • Practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning
  • A provider who listens and works collaboratively
  • Long-term support focused on sustainable mental wellness

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better mental health.

If you're a parent watching your child struggle, a teen who feels like no one gets it, or an adult carrying more than you know how to name, you're in the right place. I work with clients across every stage of life, from toddlers to seniors, and I understand that anxiety, depression, and trauma don't look the same at every age. Over the years I've sat with people through some of their hardest moments, and I've learned that healing starts with having one person who won't flinch at what you bring into the room.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Memphis

Searching for therapists in Memphis starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Memphis therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and populations served. A bio that explains the therapist’s approach can help you understand what sessions may be like and whether their background fits your needs.

In Memphis, your search may include therapists in Midtown, Downtown, Cooper-Young, East Memphis, or nearby areas, along with virtual options across Tennessee. In-person sessions may work well if location, parking, or office setting matters to you. Virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule changes often or you prefer care from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Memphis can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session cost and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
