Provider with caring, compassionate, and empathetic attitude in responding to the needs of clients. I work with adults seeking support with their health and path forward. My approach centers on patient-centered care, active listening, engagement, and partnership. I take time to understand what brings you in and create a plan tailored to your needs. I believe care works best when you feel heard, respected, and involved in each step. You are more than a diagnosis or a checklist. Together, we can build a trusting relationship, identify practical next steps, and move toward care that feels very supportive, thoughtful, and right for you.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Rockville
Finding psychiatrists in Rockville starts with knowing what kind of mental health 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 focus on talk therapy and support through approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care. If you’re looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and bio to see whether their training matches your needs.
Rockville has local options for psychiatric care, but appointment times near your home, office, or school may vary. Virtual appointments can expand your search across Maryland while still giving you access to care from Rockville. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so it helps to check scheduling flexibility, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Some psychiatrists also provide therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber.
Psychiatric care in Rockville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway makes it easier to find psychiatrists who take your plan by verifying your insurance, showing estimated costs before you book, and listing psychiatrists who are accepting new patients. You can compare bios, review availability, choose virtual or in-person care, 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.
