Getting Started
What to Expect at Your First Psychiatric Visit
A walk-through of the intake conversation, common questions, and how we build a plan together.
Compassionate medication management, assessments, and therapy for ages six and older — in person in Maysville, KY, or via telehealth across Kentucky and Ohio.
A welcoming, judgment-free space where healing begins with being heard.
Working together to overcome obstacles and close the distance to mental wellness.
Care rooted in connection — because community is at the heart of mental health.
From medication management to brief therapy, every plan is shaped around your goals, your pace, and the life you're building.
Comprehensive diagnostic evaluations for depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, and more — for ages six and older.
Thoughtful, evidence-based prescribing with regular follow-up to find what works — and adjust as your life changes.
Brief supportive therapy and lifestyle coaching — collaborative goal-setting that goes beyond the prescription pad.
I'm a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of AYA Mental Health. I started this practice because I believe care should begin where every meaningful relationship does: with listening.
My approach blends medication management, therapy, and lifestyle work — shaped collaboratively around the goals that matter to you. Community is at the heart of why I chose this path, and I hope this practice can be a place that bridges gaps in our local mental health care.
