Mental health is more than just a diagnosis, it’s about resilience, human connection, and healing. I became a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner after witnessing firsthand the gaps in care and understanding that many individuals face. I wanted to be a voice for those who often go unheard, ensuring that every patient receives compassionate, individualized care. At the heart of my practice is a strong belief in the power of healing and the importance of offering hope where it may seem lost. I strive to create a safe space where patients feel seen, heard, and empowered in their journey toward well-being.

I am a board-certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who takes a specialized and compassionate approach to understanding ADHD. Over the years, I’ve learned that ADHD doesn’t look the same in everyone — and it’s often overlooked, especially in women, high achievers, and those who’ve learned to mask their symptoms. My goal is to see beyond the surface and recognize the patterns others may miss. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, psychoeducation, and evidence-based medication management tailored to each person’s unique story.

FAQ - About Child Psychiatry
What does a child psychiatrist do?
Child psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions in children and adolescents. They support children and their families in navigating a wide range of challenges related to growing up, including academic difficulties, peer-related stress or bullying, family transitions such as divorce, and mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Treatment often includes age-appropriate therapy and, when appropriate, medication. Child psychiatrists also frequently collaborate with other professionals involved in a child’s care—such as therapists, pediatricians, teachers, or occupational therapists—to ensure a coordinated approach. They may also conduct developmental or psychological assessments to clarify diagnoses or determine the most effective treatment plan for a child. While child psychiatrists may see patients of any age under 18, many focus on specific developmental stages, such as the toddler years or adolescence.

How to find a child psychiatrist
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in working with children. The platform also offers additional filters to help you find a provider with relevant specialty areas who sees patients in your child’s age group. Each provider profile includes detailed information such as therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a provider is a good match for your child’s needs and developmental stage.
