I am a board-certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Pediatric Mental Health Specialist with over 10 years of experience caring for children with developmental and behavioral concerns. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Tennessee and my master’s degree from Vanderbilt University School of Nursing. My approach is rooted in family-center care—I believe the best outcomes happen when families feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way. I take time to truly listen, understand each child’s unique strengths and challenges, and partner with families to create thoughtful, individualized care plans.
Care begins with a comprehensive consultation visit focused on understanding your child’s needs, establishing diagnoses when appropriate, and developing an individualized treatment plan. I provide evaluation and ongoing care for a range of developmental, behavioral, and mental health concerns including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Mood Concerns, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Tic Disorders and Tourette’s Syndrome, Eating Disorders, Sleep Disturbances, and Developmental Delays. Follow up visits are scheduled as needed and may include ongoing support and medication management.
Outside of work, I’m a wife and mom of three. You’ll often find our family cheering on the Vols or spending time with friends and family.
