I am a board-certified Doctorate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (DNP, PMHNP-BC) and a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider (CMHIMP), licensed in MD, DC, and VA. I incorporate complementary therapies, such as nutrition and supplementation, into conventional psychiatry methods. My approach centers on holistic and individualized care, identifying and addressing the root causes of your personal and professional challenges. I prescribe medications conservatively, safely, and effectively. I treat patients of all ages (6 years and up) and accept most major insurance payers. www.vigorintegrative. com
I have over 15 years of training under the guidance of multiple experienced psychiatrists. My experience in the behavioral health field spans education (as an adjunct faculty member), management, quality improvement, and patient care. My treatment approach endorses empathic support, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), wellness therapies, and mindfulness.
At Vigor Integrative Wellness, we embrace the principle of bio-individuality, recognizing that each person has unique needs and responses to treatment. Our comprehensive care includes psychological and ADHD testing, psychotherapy, and medication management. Request an assessment at www.vigorintegrative. com
