Biography
I offer a friendly, nonjudgmental space where patients feel supported and empowered. My collaborative style emphasizes respect, transparency, and shared decision-making. I am especially passionate about helping people navigate stress, build self-esteem, and develop healthy relationships. Depending on patient needs, I use tools like talk therapy, lifestyle changes, parent coaching, and medication management to support healing. I specialize in treating both children and adults.
I am a native of the Tennessee mountains. I completed a fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Washington University in St. Louis and a general psychiatry residency in San Antonio, Texas. I have worked in academic medical centers, public schools, state hospitals, a transgender health clinic, and a residential eating disorder center. I am experienced in caring for LGBTQIA+ individuals and underserved rural communities.
Sessions begin with a detailed review of each patient's history, current concerns, and goals. I then work together with the patient to create a personalized care plan that may include therapy techniques, medications, psychoeducation, or coping strategies. When treating children or teens, I often include family involvement or parent coaching to promote meaningful progress.
