Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Easton, MD covered by Cigna

I am passionate about mental health and always finding ways to break stigmas. I love helping my clients tune into their inner wisdom.

My background as a midwife for 22 years has prepared me to support you in your psychiatric journey. Although I specialize in maternal mental health, I enjoy general psychiatry for all genders age 14 and up. My philosophy is to provide integrative holistic psychiatric care that includes lifestyle changes, nutrition and medication. I attended graduate school at Yale School of Nursing and Frontier Nursing University. I am also certified by Postpartum Support International and am a lactation consultant. I am working towards my integrative psychiatry certification through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community organizing, crisis intervention, and family and parent coaching. My work centers self-directed healing, truth telling, and culturally grounded care. I create a safe space for clients—especially those from BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities—to decompress, re-evaluate, and grow. I draw from evidence-based practices to honor each person’s lived experience and support increased insight, discernment, empowerment, and improved health outcomes.

I really believe people grow best when we build a real, collaborative relationship together. As a queer and neurodivergent therapist, I value authenticity, inclusivity, and creating a space where people from diverse backgrounds feel understood and supported. If you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, or going through a tough life transition, you don’t have to handle it alone. I’m here to support you. We’ll work through it together, focus on what matters most to you, and build a path forward that helps you feel more steady and in control.

I received my medical education in Paris, France.

I arrived in the US in 1982 and completed my psychiatric residency at Temple University Hospital, in Philadelphia in 1989.

IN 2010, I completed a forensic psychiatry fellowship in Portland, Oregon.

I have worked as a staff psychiatrist within the Maryland state mental health system for 23 years.

I am working with patients suffering from general mental illness and patients suffering from substance abuse.

I have worked with substance abuse clients since 1992 when I created a treatment program at Crownsville Hospital, in Crownsville. More recently I have been working with clients receiving buprenorphine (Suboxone) for the treatment of opioid use disorder.

I believe each individual has the potential to work through life's challenges. I view difficulties as opportunities in which our pain often signals something needs our attention so that we can address it, change and grow. I have Master's degree in Social Work from NYU and spent ten years working with adults struggling with substance abuse. I have also worked with adolescents and their families. Currently, I work with adults who are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationships issues such as infidelity and repairing intimacy. Learning to better understand how the subconscious often dictates more of our behaviors than we realize can be very helpful in making better decisions. I believe everyone can learn from their past and better understand their mistakes in order to live more meaningful and productive lives. I also believe that pain and trauma do not have to hold us back and that there is way to find comfort and strength in order to move on.

Welcome--I'm glad that you're here. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a master's degree from the University of Maryland. I specialize in anxiety, panic, OCD, trauma, depression, trust issues, self-esteem, life changes and anger management. I approach every client with openness and without judgment, always appreciating their individuality. I believe everyone has their own story, so I listen carefully and reflect thoughtfully. Beyond that, I work to identify practical solutions to help you achieve your goals and enhance your life.
