Most people I work with have already tried therapy, medication, or both—but still don’t feel like themselves. They’re often doing all the right things, but something still feels off. My approach is to look at the full picture—your biology, lifestyle, and environment—to understand what’s driving your symptoms and help you move forward with clarity. I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with additional training in lifestyle and integrative approaches to mental health. For those who want to go deeper, I also offer more comprehensive evaluations and care options beyond traditional sessions.

You’re functioning on the outside, but inside something feels off. Anxiety won’t quiet down. Your mood feels unpredictable. Burnout has turned into exhaustion. Maybe you’ve tried medication before, or therapy, and it helped—but not fully. You don’t want to just manage symptoms. You want clarity, stability, and a plan that makes sense. If you’re ready for thoughtful, whole-person care that looks deeper than quick fixes, you’re in the right place.

FAQ - About Child Psychiatry
What does a child psychiatrist do?
Child psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions in children and adolescents. They support children and their families in navigating a wide range of challenges related to growing up, including academic difficulties, peer-related stress or bullying, family transitions such as divorce, and mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Treatment often includes age-appropriate therapy and, when appropriate, medication. Child psychiatrists also frequently collaborate with other professionals involved in a child’s care—such as therapists, pediatricians, teachers, or occupational therapists—to ensure a coordinated approach. They may also conduct developmental or psychological assessments to clarify diagnoses or determine the most effective treatment plan for a child. While child psychiatrists may see patients of any age under 18, many focus on specific developmental stages, such as the toddler years or adolescence.

How to find a child psychiatrist
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in working with children. The platform also offers additional filters to help you find a provider with relevant specialty areas who sees patients in your child’s age group. Each provider profile includes detailed information such as therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a provider is a good match for your child’s needs and developmental stage.
