Hi, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), and I’m here to support you on your mental health journey. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, ADHD, trauma, sleep issues, and life stressors using a compassionate, personalized approach. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll develop a plan that helps you feel better and regain balance in your life.
As a triple board-certified nurse practitioner ( nurse midwife, family practitioner, and mental health), I believe that caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. I have many years of experience in the perinatal mental health field, but I enjoy caring for all walks of life. I currently care for clients aged 10-65 for many conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood/bipolar, PTSD, and perinatal disorders, among others.
I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years experience in health care. My goal is to help patients live their best lives by treating the whole person. We will work together to determine the treatment plan that best suits your individual needs. I will provide individualized care, not "one size fits all" approach to medication management.
My name is Linda, I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). The cornerstone of our practice is about providing quality, compassionate, and comprehensive mental health services through a biopsychosocial approach. Our focus is to help individuals improve their mental health and quality of life, as well as to heal and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral, nonjudgmental, safe space, where your concerns are heard, and you are encouraged to be an active participant of your treatment plan.
My experience has given me the opportunity to work closely with adults, children/adolescents experiencing symptoms of ADHD, autism, ODD, ID, depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and OCD.
You’ve taken an important step in seeking care, and I’m glad you’re here. I aim to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered as we explore what’s working, what isn’t, and strategies that fit your unique needs - at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I’m a double board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), taking an integrative approach that considers both your physical and emotional well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Norfolk, VA
Finding psychiatrists in Norfolk starts with understanding the type of care you want to explore. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people use one type of care while others work with both. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or a psychiatry consultation, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and training to see whether their background matches your needs.
Norfolk has local psychiatry options across neighborhoods like Ghent, Freemason, Larchmont, and surrounding Hampton Roads communities, but local appointment supply may vary. Virtual visits can expand your options when nearby offices have limited openings or your schedule makes travel harder. Psychiatric care often includes shorter, less frequent medication management visits than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, session format, and the bio details that explain communication style and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Norfolk can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who take your plan, are accepting new patients, and offer clear availability for virtual or in-person care. You can enter your insurance details, compare bios, review estimated 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.
