Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Gaithersburg, MD

I am dual-certified in Adult–Gerontology Primary Care and Psychiatric Mental Health, which means I care for both your physical and emotional well-being in one place. Many patients come in feeling like they’ve been passed around between providers—my goal is to simplify that experience and provide clear, coordinated, and comprehensive care.

I take a thoughtful, patient-centered approach to every visit. I listen closely, ask the right questions, and make sure you fully understand your health and your options. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, navigating stress or anxiety, dealing with hormonal changes, or working toward weight and wellness goals, we will create a plan that is realistic, personalized, and sustainable.

Through my work at Meldic Health Clinic, I focus on building a space where patients feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. Your concerns are taken seriously, and your care is never rushed.

With more than 25 years of clinical counseling experience, I bring a compassionate, empowering approach to therapy. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, wife, mother, grandmother, and Elder in my church, my perspective is shaped by a deep respect for the many seasons and challenges of life. I believe every person has strength, dignity, and the capacity to heal. My guiding phrase, “He Restoreth My Soul,” reflects my belief that healing involves the whole person—mind, will, and emotions—and can help restore identity, purpose, and resilience.

Working in the field for 24 years has opened my eyes and ears to many experiences. While your life experience is unique, we will work together to find ways to get you to your best life. I have worked in a hospital setting, inpatient mental health, outpatient mental health, PHP, IOP, Dual Diagnosis, rehab, residential treatment and community settings to a variety of clients in various backgrounds.

I am committed to providing compassionate, individual care in a welcoming and respectful environment. I believe that every client deserves to be listened to and treated with dignity. My goal is to foster a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and actively participating in your treatment

I am a compassionate and dedicated behavioral health professional committed to providing high-

quality, client-centered care in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. My clinical

experience spans a wide range of behavioral health settings, where I have worked with

individuals facing mental health challenges, trauma, substance use disorders, crisis situations,

and co-occurring conditions.

I believe that therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in

genuine human connection. My role is not to judge or direct, but to partner with clients in

identifying their strengths, overcoming challenges, and achieving meaningful personal goals. I

strive to meet each person where they are, respecting their unique experiences, values, and pace

of change.

Above all, clients should know that they can expect empathy, authenticity, professionalism, and

unwavering support throughout their therapeutic journey. My goal is to help individuals build

resilience, foster self-awareness, and create lasting positive change while feeling heard, valued,

and empowered every step of the way.
