a licensed, board-certified, psychiatric nurse practitioner with full prescriptive authority in South Carolina.

My medical background is diverse, serving patients across the lifespan, in a variety of settings and specialties. I have training in functional nutrition and lifestyle medicine which allows me to integrate evidence-based psychiatry with holistic wellness.

The path that led me here was shaped by the very challenges that so many families and individuals face when the healthcare system feels fragmented and incomplete. My personal experiences with a flawed medical model taught me the value of a root-cause, whole-person approach to health.

HÓLOS PSYCHIATRY was created out of a love for people and a belief that we are more complex than a simple diagnosis and standard treatment protocol. I consider it an honor to walk with you, hear your unique story, and identify and eliminate the barriers to your wellness.

I believe mental health can’t be separated from physical health, lifestyle, or environment—and that healing begins when we look at the big picture and start putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

I’m passionate about research and enjoy literature and podcasts on psychiatry and functional medicine. I’m always looking for new ways to challenge my body and mind. In my free time, I enjoy cold-process soap making, Broadway plays, obstacle course races, writing, salsa dancing, and spending time with my two warrior daughters.

A holistic Approach

Assorted spices including black sesame, red pepper flakes, curry powder, paprika, fennel seeds, coarse sea salt, turmeric powder, black sesame seeds, and salt, along with chili peppers, lemongrass, fresh green herbs, and a wooden pestle on a light-colored surface.

At HÓLOS Psychiatry, care goes beyond symptom management. Mental health is approached through the mind–body connection, recognizing how stress, trauma, sleep, nutrition, lifestyle, and inflammation can influence emotional well-being.

Treatment plans are personalized and may include medication management, nutritional psychiatry, lifestyle medicine, therapeutic interventions, and selective laboratory testing.

Diagnoses are viewed as signals of underlying imbalance—not the final answer—allowing care to focus on root causes and support lasting mental and physical wellness.
