Accepting new clients in DC, MD, & VA (as of May 2025). As a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I work with clients who are often feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or out of sync with the life they want to be living. Many of the people I work with are juggling careers, relationships, family, and health — and despite their best efforts, find themselves struggling with anxiety, depression, mood instability, or feeling disconnected from themselves. My ideal client is someone who wants to feel better — not just symptom-free, but truly well. They want to understand what’s happening.

I have an adult practice for persons over the age of 18. If you are seeking therapy, you are interested in improving your life in the areas of relationships, communications and any other areas causing emotional discomfort or pain such as: work, marital or couple issues, parenting differences, losses, life phase adaptations, body image and decision making. Effectiveness of therapy depends on your active participation. It requires time, effort and regularity. Therapy involves evaluating your thoughts and behaviors, identifying stresses and working to modify both. The therapy relationship is a collaborative effort with strict confidentiality and respect for the client.

Patients come to me to feel a sense of mutual respect, understanding and support with their prescriber. I have worked with a range of patients from chronic mental illness since childhood to those with recently emerging symptoms.

My ideal client is a high-functioning adult struggling silently with anxiety, depression, or burnout. They’re overwhelmed by life’s demands but hesitant to ask for help. They need a safe, non-judgmental space to process emotions, gain clarity, and develop coping strategies. Their goal is to feel balanced, regain control, and improve their overall well-being. They want relief, peace of mind, and the ability to thrive—not just survive—because they’re tired of feeling stuck.

My approach to psychiatry is based on the principle that the human spirit is resilient and has the ability to heal when supported.
