About

Firefly Collaborative Mental Health is a nurse practitioner-owned, solo-provider psychiatric practice treating patients across the lifespan. We particularly focus on child and adolescent psychiatry; neurodivergence and autism; care for the LGBTQIA population; and perinatal mental health. We provide in-person care in Richmond's West End as well as telehealth for all throughout Virginia.

Our commitment to you is to center your voice and lived experience and to respect and validate all that you bring to the table. We commit to fostering an inclusive, collaborative partnership, where your care plan is mutually agreed upon and not dicated in a top-down manner. 

Margaret has worked as a psychiatric NP since 2017.  She strives is to perform a comprehensive and thorough psychiatric evaluation to identify the core diagnosis and avoids "band-aid" prescribing that addresses nonspecific and superficial symptoms, which all too often leads to unnecessary polypharmacy to the patient's detriment. Margaret prescribes cautiously and conservatively, with the goal of helping each patient achieve remission with as few medications as possible and believes strongly in incorporating medications with psychotherapy and other non-pharmacological approaches. 

We meet you where you're at when you become our patient and center your lived experience, treatent goals and preferences, and value your identity markers as an essential aspect of your care.
