Animo Sano Psychiatry strives to provide the best-in-class Behavioral Healthcare! To provide high-quality and accessible care for all!
I am passionate about caring for others. Too often mental health issues are overlooked or seen as “less important” than physical. I believe the whole person should be cared for! As a skilled Physician Assistant with a background in both primary care and behavioral health, I thrive to brings a unique combination of knowledge and experience to my patients. With a Master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies from South University and a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from North Carolina State University, I have honed my skills to provide exceptional care to patients in need.
