Hi! I'm a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner offering comprehensive psychiatric care across Florida.

I believe you deserve to feel like yourself again, and I'm here to help make that possible.
You are allowed to outgrow people, habits, and versions of yourself that no longer align with your well-being!
Life can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space to help you feel understood and supported. Drawing from years of medical and psychiatric experience, I work collaboratively with you to build emotional strength and stability. I’m fluent in English and Haitian Creole and am committed to offering care that honors your unique background and story.
If you are caring for someone with a serious illness, raising a child with complex needs, or running on empty after years of putting everyone else first — this is the right place.
You already know how to show up for the people you love. What's harder is asking for something for yourself. Many of my clients waited longer than they should have before reaching out, because they felt guilty, or because they convinced themselves they could handle it alone. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know: getting support isn't a sign that you're struggling. It's a sign that you're paying attention.
I am a Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life's most demanding chapters — serious illness, end-of-life care, caregiving, grief, and the particular kind of burnout that comes from loving someone with complex needs. My hospice and palliative care background has shaped the way I work: with deep respect for what people are carrying, and a focus on dignity, whole-person care, and what actually helps in real life.
I am also a parent of a child with Down syndrome. I know what it means to receive a diagnosis that reshapes your family's future. I've navigated IEP meetings, medical appointments, the emotional complexity of caregiving, and the way people who love you still don't quite understand. That lived experience is not separate from my clinical work — it's at the center of it. When you sit across from me, you won't have to explain yourself from the beginning. www.anchorfamilybh.com

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right psychiatrist in Ocala, FL starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor your response over time. If you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or another condition that may benefit from medication management, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe medication — and are another option available through Headway.
Ocala and the surrounding Marion County area have a limited number of in-person psychiatric providers, which can make finding an available appointment difficult. Virtual psychiatry sessions can expand your options significantly, connecting you with licensed providers across Florida from wherever you are. Whether you prefer in-person visits near Downtown Ocala or Silver Springs, or a virtual session from home, consider what matters most — a provider's specialty, their approach, and whether their availability fits your schedule.
Psychiatry sessions can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session depending on your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist in Ocala who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
