I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with extensive experience providing mental health care across inpatient, outpatient, community mental health, ACT teams, and substance use treatment settings. Since beginning my mental health career, I have been dedicated to supporting individuals through complex emotional and psychiatric challenges with compassion, respect, and a trauma-informed approach.
I specialize in treating adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma-related concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, emotional regulation difficulties, and substance use concerns. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating life transitions, chronic mental health challenges, and recovery journeys.
My approach is collaborative and individualized. I believe effective treatment begins with understanding each person’s story, strengths, and goals. I combine evidence-based medication management with supportive therapeutic techniques to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and improve overall well-being.
My goal is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, empowered, and supported as they work toward healing and meaningful change.
I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. At times, however, navigating challenges, life transitions, relationships, or emotional struggles can feel overwhelming, and having a supportive, objective person to talk to can make a meaningful difference.
My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, I am committed to helping you build insight, resilience, and confidence while working toward your personal goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in District of Columbia
Searching for therapists in DC starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to address. Across the District of Columbia, therapy needs and available therapists can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and care format. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare DC therapists, look for specialties, approaches, and training that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or experience supporting people through major life changes.
Location and logistics can shape whether a therapist is a strong fit. In Washington, Capitol Hill, and Georgetown, some people prefer an office that works with their commute, while others choose virtual sessions for more flexibility. It can also help to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can show you how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus, so you can make a more informed choice.
Therapy in the District of Columbia can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see your estimated cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your specific coverage depends on your plan and location. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
