Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Seeking support can feel like a big step, and I'm glad you're here. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself—without judgment, pressure, or the need to have everything figured out. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, we'll work together to help you move toward healing and balance.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy using an evidence-based, holistic approach. I believe mental health is about more than managing symptoms—it's about improving your overall quality of life and helping you thrive.

My clients often describe me as warm, humorous, open-minded, energetic, and easy to talk to. I also believe in being direct, honest, and solution-oriented because I know that meaningful growth comes from combining compassion with practical strategies. I enjoy helping people recognize their strengths, build resilience, and develop skills they can use long after our sessions.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD and trauma-related disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders. I also support clients navigating life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and emotional regulation.

I believe healing happens through collaboration, trust, and hope. Whether this is your first time seeking mental health care or you're continuing your journey, I'm here to meet you where you are and help you take the next step toward living a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Baltimore

Finding OCD therapists in Baltimore starts with knowing which training to look for. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people living with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you are looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, contamination concerns, checking, or reassurance-seeking, review therapist bios for OCD experience, ERP training, and related approaches like treating OCD with cognitive behavioral therapy.

Baltimore has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Mount Vernon, Hampden, Canton, and Federal Hill, which can make the search feel harder to narrow. Some people prefer an office they can reach by car or transit, while others prefer virtual sessions that fit into their schedule. As you compare therapists, look beyond whether they list OCD. Check whether they describe specific ERP experience, appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and how they explain their session structure or communication style.

Therapy in Baltimore can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can search for Baltimore therapists who support people with OCD, review detailed bios, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you are ready.
