As we hit the halfway mark of the year this July, it is time to stop putting your mental health on the back burner. This holiday is the perfect moment to take action. Don’t wait for the new week to start: take control of your mental health and reclaim your peace of mind before the weekend ends by booking an intake appointment for this upcoming week. Whether you are facing a high-conflict divorce, a personal transition, or the crushing weight of burnout, it is exhausting to hold the line at work when your personal life feels like a crisis zone. You are used to managing the storm, but you don't have to manage this alone.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Bowie, MD


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.

Find the right therapist 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 an Anxiety Therapist in Baltimore

Searching for therapists in Baltimore starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want support with. The city has therapists across neighborhoods like Fells Point, Canton, Harbor East, and nearby areas, with many focused on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, approach, and training match your needs. Their profiles can help you see whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a large metro area like Baltimore, having many therapy options can make it harder to narrow the list. Start with practical factors that shape whether a therapist fits your life, including appointment availability, location, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. In-person care may work well if you prefer an office near home, work, or transit. Virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule changes often or you want more flexibility. Reading therapist bios before booking can also help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect.

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 your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can search for Baltimore therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you find a therapist who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
