Ambetter Psychiatrists in Buncombe County, NC

Currently accepting new patients ages 15 and up throughout NC & FL! - - - Hi, I'm Heather! I’m a psychiatric PA with over a decade of clinical experience, providing virtual psychiatry services and medication management with a collaborative, whole-person approach.
I firmly believe mental and physical health are interconnected. While medications can be helpful, we often need more to truly thrive. That’s why I incorporate lifestyle interventions like nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management into treatment plans, while also encouraging therapy as part of comprehensive care.
