About Us

Thank you for choosing Nolensville Psychiatry! My practice is dedicated to listening to each patient to discover what is actually going on. I do not assume that just because you are coming to see me that you have a psychiatric diagnosis or a psychological/mental or spiritual issue. I believe that patients know more about themselves than I do and enjoy learning from patients. There is a difference between normal emotional troubles (we all have them) and legitimate psychiatric disorders. I believe that conditions that have been inherited genetically are not the same as psychological/mental challenges - in other words -the brain and the mind/soul work together (but are not the same). Although I am not interested in supporting the pharmaceutical industry, I believe people with certain conditions may benefit for a time from properly prescribed medication. I do not believe all psychiatric conditions are lifelong conditions.    

No solication please.
