Online Psychiatry for Children, Teens & Young Adults in Tennessee and California
Life is busy enough without adding hours of driving, waiting rooms, and missed school or work to the equation.
Through secure virtual appointments, I provide the same thoughtful, personalized psychiatric care families would expect in person—making it easier to access expert support wherever you are in Tennessee or California.
The care your family deserves—wherever you are
Virtual psychiatry isn’t about replacing human connection. It’s about removing the barriers that too often keep families from getting the support they need.
Whether you live just outside Brentwood or hundreds of miles away, we’ll meet in a secure, private online setting where your child can feel comfortable, heard, and understood.
Together, we’ll build a treatment plan that’s every bit as personal and collaborative as an in-person visit.
Why families choose online psychiatry
Convenient for busy families
Spend less time commuting and more time focusing on your child’s well-being with appointments that fit more naturally into your family’s schedule.
Comfortable and familiar
Many children, teens, and young adults feel more relaxed talking from the comfort of home, making it easier to open up and engage in treatment.
Personalized, never rushed
Virtual doesn’t mean impersonal. Every appointment is designed to provide thoughtful conversation, careful evaluation, and individualized recommendations.
What to expect in virtual appointments
From your very first visit, my goal is to understand your child’s unique story—not simply their symptoms. We’ll discuss concerns, review history, explore strengths and challenges, and develop a treatment plan together.
When medication is appropriate, we’ll talk through every recommendation carefully so your family feels informed and confident about the next steps.
Follow-up visits allow us to monitor progress, celebrate what’s working, make adjustments when needed, and continue supporting your child’s growth over time.
Is online psychiatry right for your child?
Virtual care can be an excellent fit for many children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing:
- Anxiety and excessive worry
- ADHD and attention concerns
- OCD and intrusive thoughts
- Depression and mood changes
- Emotional or behavioral challenges
- Medication management needs
- School, college, or life transitions
- Stress, burnout, or emotional overwhelm
If I ever believe your child would benefit from a different level of care or in-person services, I’ll discuss those recommendations openly and help guide your family toward the appropriate resources.

Frequently asked questions
Do we have to live near Brentwood to work with you?
No. As long as your child is physically located in Tennessee or California during the appointment, we can meet securely through telehealth.

Yes. When appropriate, psychiatric medications can often be prescribed as part of virtual care. Any recommendations are made thoughtfully and discussed in detail with your family.

For many children, teens, and young adults, virtual psychiatry can be just as effective as in-person visits. Many families even find that being in a familiar environment helps their child feel more relaxed and engaged.
