As a Doctor in Nursing Practice, I have been in healthcare for over ten years, which has prepared me to manage my patients with evidence-based treatment modalities. I bring compassion and commitment to my practice of caring for the holistic needs of my patients, which entails a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of the patient’s psychological, emotional, and physical well-being, also creating a plan of care that will optimize a favorable outcome in a realistic, goal-oriented length of time, with the patient’s buy-in.
I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a primary care background. I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Nursing. My focus areas are adults and geriatric patients.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ellicott City
Finding psychiatrists in Ellicott City starts with understanding the type of care you want to search for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, read each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and background to see whether their training matches your needs.
Ellicott City is a smaller market, so local in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Maryland cities. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you choose a psychiatrist licensed to see people in Maryland. Psychiatric medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each psychiatrist describes their approach.
Psychiatric care in Ellicott City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your plan, with upfront cost estimates after you add your insurance details. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
