Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Psychiatrists in North Carolina

Working with patients in their own home relieves immediate stress and is a positive environment to establish immediate rapport. Telepsychiatry reduces delays in care, potential transportation barriers, such as lack of transportation or the need for long drives, and improves access to mental health specialty care that might not otherwise be available (e.g., in rural areas). Research also suggests telepsychiatry helps patients avoid the stigmas surrounding getting treatment and immediately increases comfort levels. At this time we are NOT accepting patients with Bipolar Disorder.

I am a general psychiatrist serving adults of all ages. My job is to help you recover and thrive. I use a gentle, supportive style informed by the latest scientific evidence to guide you toward health. In my medical training, I was taught the art of whole person care. I learned that a patient's needs often go beyond the healing of the body. Being the whole person that you are, you come with psychological, emotional, intellectual, cultural, relational, and spiritual faculties that are equally affected by your illness. Together, we will integrate important aspects of who you are into the assessment and treatment of your concerns.

Struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or a life transition can impact every moment of every day. As a board-certified PMHNP, further certified in perinatal mental health, I am dedicated to delivering compassionate, evidence-based mental healthcare that validates and enhances quality of life. Lived experience and professional training guide my practice of providing affirming care, especially pertaining to those who identify as gender and/or sexual minorities. I respect that intersectionality offers important and necessary nuances to mental health. Your story is unique and your path to healing is valued.

The path to wellness is a journey in which we all have to nurture ourselves in order to not just survive but thrive. My goal is to help you in both accepting yourself where you are on your journey, while learning to have compassion for yourself so you can continue on your path to be your best self. I will work with you on identifying your treatment goals, taking into account the biological, psychological, and social aspects of your situation.

Are you struggling with sadness, nervousness, poor focus, or poor concentration? Has your mood and behavior affected your relationships and school or work performance. Has a traumatic event changed your life and you can't seem to find yourself again? Most importantly, have you had experiences where the provider rushed you in and out and simply didn't take the time to LISTEN? Do you suffer from medical problems that make your mental health even more challenging? We know these struggles and we WANT to listen and get in the boat with you on a journey of healing, restoration, and improved quality of life.

I work with patients who are struggling with mental health issues. My patients often have a goal of treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and more. Sometimes my patients want to just learn more about themselves, and why they feel the way that they feel. I love working with patients who would like to explore holistic options in addition to medications to optimize their mental health. Holistic treatments can be anything from exercise, to learning habit stacking, to sleep hygiene. So many factors that contribute to our mental wellbeing - treating my patients with attention to these details optimizes outcomes.

I work with patients who are usually struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or mood disorders. If you are seeking help to manage stress, improve your overall well-being, and find ways to achieve a better life balance, let's work together. We can find effective treatments and coping strategies to support your mental health challenges and improve your quality of life, so you can achieve mental and emotional stability, happiness, and fulfillment in your personal and professional lives. My goal is to empower you to take control of your mental health, and overcome your challenges.

I trained at the University of Maryland Medical Center and Sheppard Pratt Hospital. I am currently accepting new patients for psychotherapy and/or medication management throughout North Carolina. I offer telehealth services that make appointments convenient & easy to attend.

Please reach out for behavioral/mental health issues related to dementia only. I am a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in brain health conditions and symptoms, like depression, anxiety, or other changes in mood, behavior, or personality. Through Isaac Health, I primarily provide evaluation and management of age-related behavioral/mental health issues, especially if likely due to Alzheimer's disease or other neurodegenerative disease related to dementia. Treatment may include psychopharmacology (medication management), specialized talk therapy, personalized counseling, and psychosocial support as needed.

I am not currently accepting new patients. Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, intrusive thoughts, or difficulty concentrating? These challenges can leave you feeling stuck, but there is hope! My approach to care is trauma-informed and recovery-oriented empowering you to use your strengths and skills to live a life you choose.

NOTE: My practice is full at this time and I am not currently accepting new patients. As a board-certified PMHNP, it is a privilege to connect with patients & help to meet their needs. I truly care about my patients. I am a Certified Integrative Medicine Provider with a deep passion for functional & holistic medicine modalities. I seek to find root causes while using medication as a tool. I offer both telehealth & in-person appointments (including after-hours). I treat a wide variety of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, psychosis, & addiction, including the use of Suboxone.
