Psychiatric Mental Health NP

If you've ever felt uneasy, unheard, or just plain frustrated trying to manage your mental health on your own — I want you to know that's exactly where so many of my clients start. And it's exactly why I do this work.

I'm Lisa, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving clients throughout Maryland through telehealth and in-person visits. My practice centers on helping people navigate anxiety and depression, two of the most common — and most treatable — challenges I see.
