I take a holistic approach to mental health by recognizing the essential connection between the mind and body. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard. I am especially passionate about reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness and believe in partnering closely with clients to help them achieve meaningful and lasting progress. I specialize in treating adults with ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, and PTSD. My treatment approach utilizes a combination of medication management, lifestyle modifications, supportive therapy, and solution-focused techniques, and is grounded in empathy, clinical expertise, and a commitment to helping each individual achieve their mental health goals.

I follow a multi-stage, personalized approach when working with clients. I begin by gathering a comprehensive history, understanding the client's primary concerns, and identifying both short- and long-term goals. From there, I collaborate with each individual to develop a tailored treatment plan that includes client-specific interventions. My process is dynamic and adaptive: I monitor each client's progress and adjust care as needed to ensure it remains aligned with their needs and goals. This thoughtful, individualized approach supports lasting outcomes and empowers clients to take an active role in their mental health journey. New patients can expect a collaborative, respectful, and goal-oriented approach to care.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who earned my Master of Science Degree from Southeastern Louisiana University. I have 26 years of diverse experience in the clinical, home, and telepsychiatry settings.

I take great pride in forming meaningful connections with my patients and listening to their concerns. I rely on evidence-based treatments to guide pharmacotherapy decisions, and in addition to medication management, I incorporate supportive psychotherapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy techniques in my visits. When appropriate, I will refer patients for further psychotherapy and collaborate with therapists to provide more comprehensive care. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship that empowers patients to join in a collaborative discussion for optimizing their individual treatment plans and reaching their defined goals.

I completed my medical training at the University of Georgia/Augusta University Medical Partnership. While in medical school, I received a Master of Business Administration at the University of Georgia. I then moved to North Carolina to complete my psychiatric residency training at the Brody School of Medicine/ECU Health Medical Center.

I also served as a chief resident of the psychiatry program and published several case studies.

I will conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and take time to understand each patient's individual concerns, mental health goals, and history.

I pride myself on my ability to empathize with my patients and meet them exactly where they are in their journey. I believe that trust is the foundation of the therapeutic relationship and work diligently to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel safe, heard, and respected. In the initial evaluation, I focus on gathering comprehensive information to form a complete understanding of each patient's unique background and needs. From there, I develop an individualized treatment plan that aligns with the patient's prioritized goals. Each session begins from that foundation, allowing me to support patients at their own pace as trust deepens and progress unfolds.

I have worked in the mental health field for over 30 years following the completion of my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Suffolk University in Boston. I began my career as a mental health technician in a geriatric residential program and later pursued additional education in nursing, earning an Associate Degree in Nursing from Quincy College, a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing from South University, and a Master's in Nursing from Eastern Kentucky University.

My approach combines medication management with psychotherapy to create a well-rounded, individualized treatment plan. I take time to listen to my patients' concerns, fostering a safe and open environment for dialogue. My therapeutic methods include supportive therapy, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Recognizing that medication alone may not fully address the root causes of distress, I incorporate talk therapy, lifestyle changes, stress management, self-care strategies, supplements, and social health into my care plans. With a laid-back, non-judgmental, and empathetic style, I collaborate closely with patients to ensure their treatment aligns with their unique needs and goals. Every decision is grounded in evidence-based practices and patient-centered care.

I begin with a comprehensive initial assessment, gathering detailed information about each patient's mental and physical health history, lifestyle, symptoms, concerns, and goals. This assessment informs a potential diagnosis and serves as the foundation for a personalized treatment plan. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress, make adjustments as needed, and provide ongoing support.

I do not see my role as a therapist as needing to "save the world" or "empower clients." Instead, I believe in working alongside clients to help them identify tools within themselves and community resources to successfully achieve their goals. The types of therapy I offer include, but are not limited to, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Culturally Sensitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Multicultural Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Alongside the use of evidenced-based practices and culturally informed care, I have developed a proven approach for helping clients (a) identify the root cause of their challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

I became a psychotherapist because I believe that mental health shapes and influences various aspects of life. Mental health is considered vital! I have been a Doctor of Social Work since 2021 and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2019, with experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and adults with concerns such as trauma, substance abuse, intimate partner violence, depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, marital issues, and more. I have extensive experience in various settings including inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), school settings, community-based settings, and emergency departments.

FAQs

How does Talkiatry work?

Talkiatry is an online psychiatry practice designed to make high-quality mental health care more accessible. We’re 100% virtual, in-network with major insurance plans, and first appointments are typically available in days.

To get started, you’ll complete a quick online assessment to tell us what you’re looking for. We’ll match you with psychiatrists who are licensed in your state, in-network with your insurance, and experienced in treating your concerns. You’ll choose the clinician you’d like to work with.

Your first visit is an in-depth evaluation where your psychiatrist will listen, provide a diagnosis, and work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your goals and preferences. You’ll continue seeing the same clinician over time, adjusting your plan as your needs evolve. Our team is always here to help with scheduling, insurance, and questions about your care.

Do you provide therapy?

Care at Talkiatry starts with psychiatry. If you already have a Talkiatry psychiatrist, they can refer you to one of our therapists if you’ve decided together that therapy is the right next step. However, you can’t see a Talkiatry therapist if you aren’t already seeing one of our psychiatrists.

What should I do if I’m having an emergency?

Talkiatry does not provide emergency care. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please visit your nearest emergency room, call 911, or call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.

How much will my visit cost?

The majority of our visits cost patients $25 or less after insurance*, but your exact out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan. The best way to get a clear estimate is to contact your insurance provider directly. Here’s what to ask them:

  • Do I have mental health benefits that include outpatient psychiatry?
  • Is Talkiatry in-network for my plan?
  • What’s my copay or coinsurance for outpatient psychiatry visits?
  • Do I have a deductible? If so, how close am I to meeting it?
  • Do I have an out-of-pocket maximum? If so, how close am I to reaching it?
  • Are virtual or telehealth psychiatry visits covered the same as in-person care?
  • Is prior authorization required for outpatient psychiatry?
  • Can you provide a cost estimate for an in-network psychiatry visit using CPT code 99204?
  • Can you provide a cost estimate for an in-network psychotherapy visit using CPT code 90833?

*Includes all patient costs from 9/24-9/25: copayment, deductible, coinsurance, and $0 payments. Excludes missed appt. fees.  Your medical visit costs can vary depending on insurance coverage.

What if I don’t want to take medication?

Psychiatrists are medical doctors, and medication is often part of how they treat mental health conditions. At Talkiatry, your psychiatrist will start by listening and discussing your options with you. Medication is always your choice, but if it’s not something you’re open to considering, we may not be the best fit for ongoing care at this time.

How do I know if Talkiatry can help me?

Talkiatry provides virtual, in-network psychiatric care for people struggling with mild to moderate mental health issues. Here’s what we can help with:

  • Anxiety
  • ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Child & adolescent care
  • Depression
  • OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder)
  • Pregnancy & postpartum care
  • PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)
  • Substance use disorder

Our goal is to connect you with the best possible care for you. At your first visit, your doctor will confirm whether Talkiatry is the right fit. If they recommend in-person or higher-level care, they’ll guide you to the appropriate resources.

What if my insurance changes from United Healthcare?

Insurance changes are common, and we’re here to help. Talkiatry is in-network with thousands of plans. If your insurance changes, reach out to a Care Coordinator to update your information and confirm your coverage by calling 833-351-TALK (8255).

Do I still take the assessment if I’m already diagnosed with depression?

Yes. Our online assessment is an important part of how we match you with the right psychiatrist. Your first visit will include a thorough evaluation so your psychiatrist can confirm your diagnosis and tailor your treatment plan to your current needs.
