I’ve taken the ADHD Care Pledge to support safe and thoughtful stimulant use

Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Brandy, a double board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner with 15 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across North Carolina, specializing in depression, anxiety, ADHD and life transitions. My master of science in nursing specializing in psychiatry were completed at Rocky Mountain University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.

As a psych NP, I treat a broad spectrum of mental health conditions in addition to my specializations.

I practice evidence-based psychiatry grounded in empathy, compassion, and inclusive care for all patients. My dual certification as both a psychiatric and family nurse practitioner allows me to address the whole person—understanding how physical health and mental health interconnect across diverse populations and life stages. I prioritize patient-centered care through thorough assessment, thoughtful medication management (including evidence-based deprescribing when appropriate), and collaborative decision-making. My style is direct, methodical, and focused on empowering patients with education about their treatment options. I create a therapeutic environment where patients feel heard, respected, and supported in their mental health journey.
