Practice Philosophy
Everyone has unique potential - unique experiences and motivation for change, which is part of what makes my job so fascinating. Being able to recognize another person's distinct experience and motivation is rewarding for the both of us. Each day I cultivate this understanding of human experience, combining it with evidence-based treatment options for the management of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and bipolar disorder among other issues.
I received my Board Certification as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner after completing graduate training with Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. I also hold a Master of Arts in Human Services from Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC.
My focus at Rainwater Psychiatry is to develop individualized treatment options for adolescents, college students and adults. Depending upon each person’s need, this may take the form of medication management, psycho-education, blood or genetic testing, along with a variety of other resources.
