I am originally from Johnson City, TN but have called Nashville home for the past twenty-five years. I became a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in 2005 with the desire to support adolescents and adults in feeling more empowered in their own healing journeys.
I have worked in a variety of community health settings, most recently at the the Osher Center for Integrative Health at Vanderbilt. My work at the Osher Center specialized in providing psychiatric evaluations and medication management services to patients suffering from chronic pain conditions, trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other disorders. During my tenure at the Osher Center, I was also part of the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Initiative, as well as an instructor in the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program.
I opened Mindful Psych to offer a restorative and integrative space for patients in need of supportive psychiatric treatment.

“Dr. King really took the time to listen. He didn't take my previous diagnosis at face value; he took the time to understand my personal symptoms. He explained the functions of medication and went over side effects. I know that finding the right regimen can take a while, but Dr. King has a game plan for me. I feel confident in him. For the first time in a very long time, I feel hopeful. Thank you Dr. King!”
