Psychiatrists in Durham, NC

Hi! I'm an Adult, Adolescent and Child Psychiatrists currently accepting new patients between the ages of 6 and 60. My goal is to help you or your child with a wide range of mental health issues including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Anxiety Disorders, peripartum mood disorders, and trauma-related disorders.

I have a comfortable private office in Chapel Hill conveniently located off Hwy 15/501 close to I-40 exit. I am in solo-practice, however, share the office suite with two psychotherapists in private practice. --- My practice is rooted in holistic nursing. I see my role as helping people to reach their full potential and achieve their goals. To do so, I judiciously prescribe medications to alleviate excess anxiety, worry, anger, and lethargy. I believe that many issues also need to be addressed with other forms of therapy or life style changes.

I work with patients who are often seeking a holistic approach to their mental and physical well-being. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, ADHD, depression, or exploring aspects of your mental health that are yet to be named, I'm here to support and guide you. Whether it's through medication management or exploring different therapeutic techniques, my goal is to help you see meaningful improvement in your day-to-day life. I understand that health encompasses the mind, body, and spirit, and recognize the intricate relationship between these elements. My priority is to create a safe environment where patients feel heard and valued.

When I worked in oncology, I witnessed the profound connection between mental health and physical well-being. It became evident to me that I had a genuine interest in mental healthcare and believed I could significantly enhance patients' quality of life by pursuing a career in psychiatry. I chose to join Animo Sano Psychiatry because we share a commitment to providing exceptional care to our patients while prioritizing the well-being of our team.

I am a psychiatrist who works primarily through insight-oriented psychotherapy. I treat patients who are missing a sense of balance, meaning, connection, or purpose in their lives, who feel stuck with regard to career, romance, or family, who notice concerning, repetitive, or self-destructive patterns in relationships, mental attitudes, or behavior, and who struggle with the lingering effects of abuse, neglect, or other challenging life experiences. My expertise in psychotherapy and the medical practice of psychiatry enables me to offer thoughtful, comprehensive and individualized treatment, which may or may not include medication.

I am a physician assistant with both the passion and experience treating patients who feel unseen or unsupported. I received my master’s degree in physician assistant studies from South University in Savannah, GA. I am the child of immigrant parents that worked hard to provide for my sibling and I, therefore it’s important to me to advocate for our underserved, minority, and more vulnerable populations. With experience in addiction medicine, treating adolescents/adults with depression, anxiety, mood and neurodevelopmental disorders, I am dedicated to continuing to learn/educate patients on how to best treat their Mental Health!
