I am an integrative psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Nashville that uses a holistic and whole-person approach to mental wellness.

I believe that integrative and personalized mental health care can change lives, and that I want to provide exceptional treatment for my patients. Through my personal experience I have seen the benefit that the right provider at the right time can make to someone, changing their trajectory to a happier and more fulfilling life.

I very much enjoy working through the small details like exercise, diet, supplements, sleep hygiene and more with patients to improve their lives without using more medication.

I went back to Vanderbilt University for nursing and became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). I have also been a clinical instructor at Vanderbilt University’s PMHNP master of nursing program.

I first worked at a mental health clinic and while the work was rewarding, I quickly recognized the pitfalls of an insurance-based system and the time constraints that limit the provider-patient relationship. I wanted to offer my patients more time, and more holistic treatment modalities than just medication, which is why I started Restore Psychiatric Care.

I had previously been a mechanical engineer, and my own experience earlier in life motivated me to provide care to others. Plus I really enjoy talking to people!

Working outside of the insurance reimbursement system enabled me to provide highly personalized and integrative care to my patients that get them better, faster. My goal is to make you feel better as quickly as possible but with the minimum amount of medication needed to achieve that goal.
