Welcome to Richmond Resilient Roots

Richmond Resilient Roots is a nurse practitioner–owned private practice based in Richmond, Virginia. I provide compassionate, holistic psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and young adults, with a focus on thoughtful, evidence-based evaluation and medication management.

I believe mental health is just as important as physical health. My approach is personalized and comprehensive, supporting the whole child while partnering closely with families to understand each child’s unique emotional, developmental, and medical needs.

My primary clinical focus is psychiatric evaluation and medication management. I take a careful, individualized approach to prescribing, considering not only symptoms, but the child’s overall health, environment, and stage of development. While I incorporate supportive therapeutic conversations into visits, I believe the most effective care often happens through collaboration.

I regularly work alongside therapists, counselors, schools, and other professionals to ensure care is coordinated, consistent, and aligned with each child’s goals. When therapy is recommended, I value partnering with existing therapists or helping families connect with appropriate therapeutic support.

At Richmond Resilient Roots, my goal is to empower children and families with the tools they need to build resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being for life. Just as strong roots provide stability and growth for a tree, the resilience nurtured here forms the foundation for lifelong mental health and strength.
