I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 11 years of healthcare experience. Before specializing in psychiatry, I worked in the Burn ICU and outpatient procedural settings, where I learned the importance of caring for the whole person during some of life’s most difficult moments. I earned my nursing degree from UNC Chapel Hill and my Master of Science in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and especially enjoy helping people navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes—like school, relationships, career stress, or grief—that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

Ever feel like your brain just won't cooperate? You know what you need to do, but you can't make yourself do it. You lose things, forget things, start projects you never finish — and you've probably been told to just try harder.

That gets old.

I'm Rodney. I'm a board-certified PMHNP and I work exclusively with adults who think they might have ADHD — or who already know they do and need a provider who actually gets it. ADHD is all I do, which means I'm not guessing.

I'll be straight with you: I talk to my patients like people, not cases. I want to know what your life actually looks like — your job, your relationships, what's driving you crazy — because that's how we figure out what's going to help.

I'm a veteran, and if that's part of your story too, you'll feel that in how I communicate. Direct, no fluff, no runaround.

I see adults across all of North Carolina via telehealth, seven days a week. If this sounds like what you've been looking for, just reach out.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist 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 Psychiatrist in Apex, NC

Finding psychiatrists in Apex starts with knowing which type of support fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management often includes reviewing symptoms, discussing how your current care plan is working, and making updates with a qualified prescriber. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a prescriber, some start with a therapist, and some work with both.

Apex is a smaller market, so local psychiatry appointment options may be more limited than in nearby larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you search for care from someone licensed in North Carolina. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer the session format that fits your schedule. Medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and reading bios can help you understand each person’s focus, communication style, and approach before you book.

Psychiatric care in Apex can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients with your plan, review profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
