My Education

I attended the University of Florida before transferring to NC State to complete a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology. I earned my  Master of Physician Assistant Practice from Campbell University.

My Related Experience

I have worked in the medical field since  2000 and have been practicing psychiatry since 2014. I have worked at several local hospitals, primarily in neurology and the operating room. I have worked in outpatient private practice since 2014. 

My Areas of Focus

I assess, diagnose and treat a broad range of mental health disorders that include, but are not limited to:

• Mood Disorders (Depression and Bipolar Disorders)
• Anxiety Disorders
• ADHD
• Trauma disorders
• Psychotic disorders
• Alcohol use disorders

My Purpose for Choosing Psychiatry

I am passionate about educating the patient regarding their mental health conditions, medications, and lifestyle treatments to improve mental  health. I believes in a collaborative approach and hope to guide the patient to make informed decisions about their care. I feel privileged to know many patients for years and watch them grow into the best version of themselves. 

My Life Outside the Office

In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors doing nearly anything from running, hiking,  cycling, swimming, playing pickleball, and paddling.
