 Compassionate & Personalized Medication Management & Counseling for Maryland & Virginia

How daunting and overwhelming it can be when you finally make the decision to ask for help. It can be even harder when you don’t feel the provider is listening to you or doesn’t see you as an individual. Sometimes it takes a few sessions, and certainly more than five minutes, to truly understand what your needs are.  I believe in an open and honest conversation where we work collaboratively to make decisions that fit you best. It may include just one component, or perhaps a combination of evidence-based medication, therapy, alternative options and/or lifestyle modifications.

I work with adults aged 18 and above. Issues addressed include, but are not limited to, Anxiety, OCD, Trauma, Women’s Health, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, ADD/ADHD . If you are unsure, please do not hesitate to ask. 

Psychopharmacology  - There is a lot of stigma and misinformation regarding psychiatric medications, but they can be an integral tool to recovery. We will discuss if medications are an appropriate tool for you. I will provide education regarding risks, benefits, and any potential side effects to ensure your comfort and allay any fears. 

Counseling - In some situations, medication alone is not enough to help recovery. I believe we are more than just a list of symptoms and build in time to discuss anything that may be on your mind during your appointment. Often I recommend finding a therapist for ongoing therapy to best meet your specific needs.

As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who works with adults 18 years and above. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings for several years which has broadened my perspective. I chose to work in this field out of a passion to help and not as a job. I try to follow in the footsteps of my father who was an old fashioned family doctor. He believed in taking time with each person instead of getting them in and out the door in 10 minutes. 

 My focus is to provide comprehensive medication management, however I strongly believe that this goes hand-in-hand with listening, conversation, and discussion. By offering a holistic approach to your individualized care, we can explore a variety of options that lets us work together as a team to reach your goals and at a pace that you feel most comfortable with.
