You’re juggling a lot—and it’s okay if your brain isn’t cooperating. Between high-stakes exams, lab reports, job applications, and the pressure to maintain a social life, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly underwater. When procrastination kicks in, your mind races at 2:00 AM, and campus services have a month-long waitlist, the stress can feel insurmountable.

I provide specialized online psychiatric care specifically for college and graduate students navigating ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I understand the unique rhythm of academic life. My practice is designed to fit into your schedule, offering secure video visits you can join from your dorm, your apartment, or even your car between classes.

I am licensed to serve clients across Maryland. To make your life easier, I offer simple online scheduling, streamlined prescription refills, and consistent follow-up care.
