Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm an experienced and compassionate PMHNP-BC and dedicated to providing exceptional mental health care. I received a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from the university of Tennessee Health Science Center. Also certified in Family Practice, Adult Gerontology, Acute Care. With over 10 years of experience in the nursing field, I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD (I DO NOT prescribe stimulant medication, such as Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse or Folacin), etc.

My approach to therapy

My training allows me to address a variety of psychiatric conditions & provide treatment. I am best positioned to serve: Adults struggling with anxiety & depressive disorders with a combination of medication management & therapy. Young adults dealing with mental health challenges related to academic pressure, social issues, & life transitions. Individuals looking for mental health care that incorporates their Christian faith, valuing an approach that integrates spiritual beliefs with treatment.

What you can expect from me

First session will start with a warm and welcoming introduction. I aim to create a comfortable and safe environment where you feel at ease. This is an opportunity for you to share a bit about yourself, your background, and what has brought you to seek counseling. You can expect a compassionate and professional environment where your mental health and spiritual well-being are the top priorities. Together, we will lay the foundation for a meaningful and transformative therapy experience.
