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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Bethesda, MD
Searching for therapists in Bethesda starts with knowing what kind of support and care may fit your needs. Therapists can support a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and work stress. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience match what you want to address. Profiles may mention approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care, which can help you narrow your search.
Bethesda has many nearby care options, but local appointment availability can vary by office location, schedule, and specialty. If you prefer in-person therapy, consider how close an office is to home, work, transit, or nearby areas like Chevy Chase, Woodmont Triangle, or downtown Bethesda. Virtual therapy can also expand your options, especially if you need more flexibility around appointment times. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for details on communication style, session structure, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Therapy in Bethesda can be a significant cost without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review profiles, verify your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare virtual and in-person options, choose a therapist who matches your needs, and book directly when you’re ready.
