If you are in need of help with mood or anxiety disorders, OCD, ADHD and are interested in working collaboratively, then I would be a good fit for you. To help achieve the best outcome for my patients, it is best for me get a good history and story of distressing symptoms. This includes assessment of past treatments with medication, talk therapy, or other therapies. Sometimes this can be a process. Medication therapy can be effective to treat imbalances in the brain's circuitry and provide relief of physical symptoms that can occur with psychiatric conditions. It is my goal to work with you in your treatment.

Fuquay Varina, NC 27526
My ideal clients are individuals who feel overextended, stuck, depleted, and exhausted from trying to keep up. They may struggle with constant worry, frustration, or guilt due to difficulties staying focused, getting things done, and managing life's demands. I am especially passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals who may have spent years feeling misunderstood, dismissed, or wondering why they seem to struggle with things that appear to come more easily to others. Many come to treatment carrying feelings of inadequacy, overwhelm, and mental fatigue, often blaming themselves for struggles they never fully understood.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MSN, PMHNP, BC
Durham, NC 27707
Pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood are times of profound transition physically, emotionally, and psychologically. While this period is often described as joyful, many parents experience feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, mood changes, or a sense of disconnection that can feel isolating and confusing. You may find yourself exhausted, struggling to bond as expected, or wondering why this stage feels harder than you anticipated. If this resonates with you, please know that you are not alone, and help is available. I specialize in perinatal and maternal mental health, offering compassionate, evidence-based support during this time

FAQ - Psychiatrists for Women's Issues
How can psychiatrists help women with gender-specific mental health challenges?
Women can face a variety of unique mental health challenges that they may seek psychiatric support for, such as reproductive and perinatal mental health, postpartum depression, menopause, body image concerns, and other conditions that intersect with gender-based experiences. Psychiatrists with specific expertise in working with women can offer treatment for these conditions, often through medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. While not all psychiatrists who specialize in women's issues are female, some women find that they are most comfortable seeing a female psychiatrist, as they may feel more supported by someone who has shared life experiences and perspectives.

What does psychiatric treatment for women's issues involve?
Because women's issues encompass a variety of concerns, the course of treatment recommended by a psychiatrist will vary. However, psychiatrists will often begin treatment with an assessment of a client's current symptoms and recommend a treatment plan according to the assessment findings. Treatment often includes a combination of psychotherapy and medication, depending on the nature of the concern and the individual's goals. For example, a psychiatrist might use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, or interpersonal therapy (IPT) to help clients explore and address challenges related to identity, relationships, parenting, or past trauma. For those experiencing mood changes related to hormonal fluctuations—such as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) or perinatal depression—medication may also be considered to help stabilize mood. In many cases, psychiatrists will coordinate with other healthcare providers, such as OB-GYNs or primary care physicians, to ensure comprehensive care.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in women's issues?
Psychology Today's online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists by treatment specialty and gender, making it easy to find psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who treat women's issues and identify as female. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees.
