I believe everyone deserves to feel healthy, balanced, and fulfilled. I provide a supportive, confidential space for individuals and couples to explore their mental and emotional well-being.
As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I offer a holistic approach to care—integrating therapy with medication management when appropriate to support the whole person.
With over 11 years of healthcare experience across a variety of settings, I bring both clinical expertise and a compassionate, patient-centered approach to treatment. Recognizing the growing need for mental health support, I pursued advanced training in psychiatric care to better serve individuals navigating stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions.
My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you work toward meaningful, lasting change.
I am a dedicated mental health professional with experience supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions. My background includes working with diverse populations, and I strive to create an inclusive, respectful space where clients feel heard and understood. I am committed to ongoing professional development and use evidence-based practices to ensure clients receive effective, up-to-date care tailored to their unique needs.
I am a seasoned psychotherapist and psychiatric provider with nearly two decades of experience in the behavioral health field. After earning a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville in 2006, I became licensed by the Kentucky Board of Social Work. I also hold national certification in case management (CCMC), am a licensed supervisory-level addictions specialist (CADAC-IV) through the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium, and a licensed marriage and family therapist through the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).
My academic journey continued with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University, specializing in integrated medical and behavioral health services, followed by a Post-Doctorate Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I further expanded my scope of practice through a Master’s Entry in Professional Nursing (BSN & MSN) from the University of Louisville in 2020, a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Northern Kentucky University in 2021, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Duke University. I am board certified as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, licensed to prescribe and manage medications.
In addition to clinical practice, I have led multidisciplinary teams and supervised clinical operations, enhancing quality of care, staff development, and patient outcomes across diverse systems. I am deeply committed to lifelong learning and delivering compassionate, evidence-based, integrative care to individuals and families in both Kentucky and Indiana.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Lexington, KY
Finding postpartum therapists in Lexington starts with looking for someone whose training matches what you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you review therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or postpartum counseling. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health care.
Lexington offers local therapy options, and virtual care can make the search more flexible for new parents managing changing schedules, infant care, and physical recovery. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or a child care route, or virtual appointments that fit more easily into your day. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, therapy approach, and whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their style, postpartum experience, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Lexington 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 out-of-pocket estimate before you book. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
