Get expert psychiatric care from the comfort of your home. I treat ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and autism in children, teens, and adults (ages 5–65) across Virginia and Maryland, offering both in-person and telepsychiatry visits. As a double board-certified psychiatrist, I provide compassionate, evidence-based, integrative care that combines therapy, medication management, and holistic strategies. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, I’ll help you manage symptoms, improve relationships, and build confidence so you or your loved one can thrive—not just cope. Call today to start your journey!
I understand that every patient is unique, and I tailor treatment to each individual’s needs, combining medication management with therapy and counseling for both patients and families. My goal is to create a trusting and supportive environment where you feel empowered and understood. I believe in working together with you to find the best path forward.
Your well-being is my top priority. I’m here to support you through every step, whether it's through medication or tailored therapy. As double board-certified psychiatrist, I’m committed to understanding your unique challenges and creating a personalized plan for your mental wellness. Together, we’ll work towards helping you thrive. I accept most insurances.
