I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, and neurodivergent conditions including Autism. Many come feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or held back by symptoms affecting school, work, relationships, or daily life. Parents often seek clarity and direction; adults want relief and a provider who truly listens. Together, we work toward better emotional regulation, functioning, and quality of life. Currently accepting new patients in DC, MD, VA, DE, and PA, with most commercial insurance accepted.
I provide trauma-informed, evidence-based psychiatric care across the lifespan—including individuals with developmental disabilities and neurodivergence. Services include comprehensive evaluations and individualized medication management, tailored to each person's developmental stage, symptoms, and goals.
Deciding to seek psychiatric care—for yourself or your child—takes courage. I'm committed to creating a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported from the very first conversation. Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to face this alone. When you're ready, I'd be honored to help.
