I earned my Master of Physician Assistant Studies degree from High Point University, where I received comprehensive medical and clinical training. My educational background and clinical experiences have provided me with a strong foundation in psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and am dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate mental health care that supports long-term wellness and personal growth.
My approach to treatment focuses on caring for the whole person rather than simply managing symptoms. I combine evidence-based practices with a collaborative, patient-centered philosophy to help individuals develop practical coping strategies, build resilience, and achieve lasting improvements in their mental health and overall quality of life.
I believe meaningful mental health care begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and open communication. My goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where patients feel comfortable sharing their experiences and actively participating in their care.
