Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.
I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.
You’re juggling a lot—and it’s okay if your brain isn’t cooperating. Between high-stakes exams, lab reports, job applications, and the pressure to maintain a social life, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly underwater. When procrastination kicks in, your mind races at 2:00 AM, and campus services have a month-long waitlist, the stress can feel insurmountable.
I provide specialized online psychiatric care specifically for college and graduate students navigating ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I understand the unique rhythm of academic life. My practice is designed to fit into your schedule, offering secure video visits you can join from your dorm, your apartment, or even your car between classes.
I am licensed to serve clients across Maryland. To make your life easier, I offer simple online scheduling, streamlined prescription refills, and consistent follow-up care.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 26 years of healthcare experience, including 8 years in critical care and 2 years in acute psychiatric mental health nursing. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for adults ages 18 and older experiencing anxiety and depression.
I believe every person deserves to feel heard, supported, understood, and respected. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where healing and personal growth can begin. I take a warm, collaborative, and personalized approach to care, working together with each client to better understand their symptoms, explore treatment options tailored to their individual needs, and develop the tools and confidence needed to improve their mental health and overall well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Parkville
Finding psychiatrists in Parkville starts with understanding the kind of mental health care you want to access. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and can also be part of your care team. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, credentials, and approach to see whether their experience matches your needs.
In a smaller community like Parkville, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can expand your options beyond nearby offices. Psychiatric visits often follow a different cadence than therapy. Medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent, while some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare psychiatrists near Parkville, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Provider bios can also show how a psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they focus on, and what to expect in sessions.
Psychiatric care in Parkville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who match your preferences and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, confirm insurance coverage for your plan, and book directly when you’re 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.
