Hello and Welcome to my practice. I emphasize an individualized and whole person approach to wellness and believe strongly in daily exercise, healthy diet, and mindfulness/meditation. Mindfulness and meditation come in many forms and is rapidly being recognized as essential in all areas of medicine. Although teachings about this have been around for thousands of years, only recently has this been rediscovered and it's importance recognized. If I can't provide the specific therapy that you need, I'm comfortable partnering with other qualified therapists who can.

I am a board-certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist in private practice in Asheville, NC and on faculty at the Yale Child Study Center in New Haven, CT. I provide therapy as well as medication management, when necessary. The primary modalities I use with clients are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. One of my biggest passions is providing excellent resources to supplement therapy, so clients feel well-versed in their treatment and realize they are not the only ones going through these struggles. Mental health issues are common and treatable and there should be no shame in getting help!

I am dedicated to your health and helping you achieve a lasting change as we work together. I feel strongly that an individualized approach is key in the management of all patients. While many people may present with similar symptoms, the causes and context of these can vary greatly from person to person. The decision to prescribe medications, advise therapy, or an amalgamation of both is made with careful consideration of the situation and the patient's needs and wishes. I commonly treat most psychiatric conditions.

Your child is having a hard time learning or has significant behavioral issues. Perhaps excessive worry, obsessive fixations, past trauma or deep sadness prevent her from making friends, going to school or enjoying life. Or his moods & thoughts can be strange & disruptive. Or their social & emotional development appear off. You're very concerned but not sure where to start or what to do. You have tried to understand & adjust your parenting to attempt to help. Or you may have taken him to therapist/s or doctor/s & tried various treatments, but he continues to struggle & something is still missing.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my primary focus is to provide you with my full presence and deep care. This goal, along with the provision of state-of-the-art psycho-pharmacology offered in an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion, are best achieved, I believe, by working as a team. As we get to know each other, my desire is to hear you deeply–your past experience, your concerns, worries…and your joys and successes. It is within this alliance that, together, we will discover the best paths forward for you, be they a change in medication, lifestyle, the addition of psychotherapy, meditation or whatever else may be beneficial.

I trained in medicine and psychiatry at Duke and Methodist Universities, and also as a wellness coach, and have worked in both medicine and psychiatry settings for 11 years. The foundations of successful therapy are compassion, trust and support which allow for the development of skills and insights as well as improved self care. I can prescribe medications for anxiety and depression, as as a bridge to health with counseling, but strive to help people become independent of medicines. I use an integrative mind, body, spirit approach with counseling, wellness coaching and lifestyle medicine to improve symptoms and optimize health.

Key elements of good mental health care include (1) a solid bond between patient and psychiatrist, strengthened by open communication, mutual respect, and mutual trust; (2) involvement of spouse, or other close family member or close friend, in the treatment process; (3) coordination of care involving communication of psychiatrist with patient's primary care provider, and with other professionals, who provide care for the patient's emotional and physical needs.

I currently have a hold on new patients while work through my wait list. I am a PA with over 9 years of experience & I just launched my private practice offering psychiatric medication management. My passion for mental health and eating disorders stems in large part from personal experience—I think everyone - including me - has friends or family who have experienced problems with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or other mental health concerns. It is from this perspective that I approach my work: with warm, compassionate, and heartfelt intention to help others achieve their goals of wellness and relief from symptoms.
