Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Lanham, MD

Introduction

I have a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate their mental health journeys. I offer virtual therapy sessions, making it convenient for you to receive support from the comfort of your own space. Fluent in both English and Swahili.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience and extensive work in inpatient psychiatry. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatric mental health and care for individuals across the lifespan.

I treat depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and women’s mental health concerns, including postpartum depression.

I received my Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University and have been practicing psychotherapy in a variety of settings including foster care, public health clinics, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) clinics, group homes, HIV clinics, primary care clinics and private practice for the past 20 years.

Hello! My name is Brian. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (DC LICSW, MD LCSW-C) with over nine years of experience supporting individuals in hospitals, outpatient settings, schools, and nonprofit agencies. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania and dual master’s degrees in Social Work and Divinity from Andrews University. My work is focused on helping young adults and older adults deal with mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and stress.

When was the last time you felt truly heard? Life can feel as though you're stuck in a maze without a map or sense of purpose. You may feel broken, alone, or depressed, but you're not. I've successfully helped clients work through challenges, learn effective coping skills, and view life in a realistic, positive way. I've helped clients with chronic illness maximize their quality of life. We'll set up a plan that meets your current needs, then empower you to reach your goals, together.

I believe that therapy is a step up for one's life.

I admire people who want to make a positive change in their lives. I meet people where they are in their lives. I work on positive, realistic goals with my clients.

I provide structured, evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents and adults with anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, and complex mental health conditions. I specialize in treating individuals who have had limited response to prior treatment and require a more personalized, clinically guided approach. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in both community and residential settings.
