We are Synpatic Psych and are brain care experts, providing comprehensive mental health treatment. We have offices in Nashville, East Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin and now in Memphis! Our services include everything from traditional talk therapy and medication management to breakthrough, cutting-edge treatments like TMS, Nasal esketamine, and VNS. We accept all major insurance, including Medicare. I am the Chief Medical Officer and can typically get new patients in within a week or so, depending on their specific needs and clinician availability. Please reach out for immediate assistance.
I completed medical training at Univ of Louisville School of Medicine, postgraduate medical education at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Psychiatry where I was Chief Resident. I also completed a Management Program for Physicians & Senior Healthcare Administrators at Vanderbilt's Owen School. I am Board Certified in Psychiatry.
I am the current president of the Tennessee Psychiatric Association and produce an international conference called Pulses, designed to train physicians around the world on using TMS in a clinical setting.
