What I love most about my career is hearing each person's unique experiences and providing them with the care they deserve. I believe that providing mental health care should be patient-centered and that my patients deserve to feel heard, respected, and safe when they come to see me.
I am a licensed and board-certified physician assistant. I received my Bachelor's Degree from Middle Tennessee State University and my Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Tennessee in Memphis, TN. During my clinical training, I gained broad exposure to diverse patient populations where I had firsthand experience in managing mental health conditions and discovered my love for psychiatry. My specialties include ADHD/ADD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, substance use, trauma-related conditions, and more.
As a provider, I believe in collaborating with each patient to develop a treatment plan that is the best for them while aligning with evidence-based practices. Mental health is ever-changing and I want to meet each patient where they are at to provide the support and treatment to help them achieve their goals.
