Psychiatrists Beginning With D in Tennessee
Treating patients, ages 14+, I utilize a highly individualized treatment approach in prescribing medications for a variety of diagnostic symptoms. There is no template for a human being. Therefore, I believe every person deserves to be heard, so that no nuance is missed. Patients who are struggling with depression, psychosis, mood swings, difficulty with concentration, sleep, motivation, bipolar illness, trauma, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, and more, must be able to share freely what their specific treatment needs are. My goal is to hold space for everyone needing affordable, accessible, quality mental health care.

Treatment focus includes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective, addiction, eating disorders, anger management, behavioral issues, emotional disturbance, grief, family conflict, and psychosis. I believe in a holistic approach recognizing the body-mind-spirit connection of persons. I believe that the whole person is made up of interdependent parts and if one part is not working properly, all the other parts will be affected.

You’re not broken. You’re overwhelmed—and for good reason. My ideal client is someone who’s been carrying too much for too long.

They’re insightful, resilient, and often the “strong one” in their circle—but lately, that strength feels stretched thin.
They’re seeking more than a prescription. They want clarity, validation, and a plan that honors their whole self—mind, body, and spirit. They’re curious about how nutrition, hormones, sleep, and stress interact with their mental health. They’re ready
