Additionally, I maintained a private practice for 15 years, treating individuals and their families with ongoing collaboration with therapists and other health care providers.

I am board certified in Adult Psychiatry. I primarily focus on medication management but integrate therapeutic support into my sessions. For more in-depth therapy needs, I encourage patients to have their own individual therapist. I particularly enjoy working with young adults and in areas related to women's health, such as perinatal mental health. I welcome people from all cultures and am LGBTQ+ friendly.

I received my undergraduate and medical degrees at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC, and then moved to Morgantown, West Virginia to complete my psychiatry residency.

I am a board certified psychiatrist skilled in prescribing medications and working in psychotherapy. I combine a warm demeanor with excellent clinical skills, and have over 15 years' experience working with adult patients of all ages and many walks of life. I have special expertise combining medication and psychotherapy to help patients reduce symptoms and grow as individuals. My additional training and experience in psychological modes of treatment enhance the quality of care I provide to all my patients, to meet them where they are and prioritize their individual needs and goals. I also provide medication management-only treatments for people who aren't looking for psychotherapy or who already have therapists.

I offer treatment for many psychiatric conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and personality disorders. I identify helping people ease and overcome their psychiatric conditions as my calling, and approach each patient with humility, diligence, and a collaborative spirit.

I became a psychiatrist with one mission: to provide compassionate, high-quality mental health care accessible to anyone, anywhere. My approach emphasizes that patients are more than a diagnosis, focusing on the whole person, their story, struggles, and strengths. I partner with patients to create individualized therapeutic plans that may include medication management and holistic strategies. My goal is to promote mood stability, balance emotions, reduce anxiety, quiet overwhelming thoughts, resolve interpersonal conflicts, and strengthen resilience. I believe healing is best achieved through collaboration, open dialogue, and empowering patients to make informed choices about their care.

I am committed to meeting patients where they feel most comfortable, whether at home, work, or elsewhere. I offer the same compassion, attentiveness, and expertise as in-person care while removing barriers like travel, time constraints, and distance.
