Psychiatrists in Richland County, SC

Are you frustrated, discouraged and overwhelmed with all the choices and options you have for getting help? It can be discouraging when you feel like you've bounced around to different doctors and therapists and never experienced true relief for your symptoms. You don't want to deal with the hassle of multiple locations, multiple providers, and trying to get them to communicate about YOUR best treatment. You just want to get help for your issues, not field a bunch of different doctors offices. This is a common frustration in mental health treatment- you as the client don't get the best support because its spread out, not localized.

I look look forward to working with patients of all ages over 18 years old. My areas of interest include depression, anxiety, insomnia, grief, separation disorders, PTSD, bipolar, and ADHD.

Shortly after completing my undergraduate education, I recognized the need for more mental health providers and how addressing a patient’s mental health can impact and improve their overall health. Now a board-certified practitioner, I specialize in medication management while also addressing ways to improve environmental, social, and physical wellness. My training has given me experience in various specialties which allows me to develop a comprehensive assessment. Areas of interest include anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and postpartum depression.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and OCD, insomnia, and mood instability. I use a holistic patient-centered approach in my treatment plans utilizing both pharmacologic therapies along with supplements to improve mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing to achieve total wellness. My treatment approach is individualized to the patient and their personal goals.

I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia but have been a Clemson Tiger my entire life. While working as an RN for Prisma Health as an internal resource nurse, I spent a large amount of time working in emergency medicine. This setting provided an opportunity for me to hone my passion and skillset for working in mental health, especially with the geriatric population. However, I am certified to treat patients across the entirety of their lifespans and carry prescriptive authority.

I am a native of Greenville, South Carolina and a board-certified Physician Assistant with full prescriptive authority. I am experienced in a variety of healthcare settings, including outpatient psychiatry for adults with mental illness, as well as Medication Assisted Treatment for Suboxone therapy.
