Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Rockville, MD

Welcome—I'm glad you're here.

Acknowledging that you need help is a courageous first step, and finding the right space to share your struggles can feel overwhelming. I’m here to make that process a little easier.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. My approach is rooted in warmth, compassion, and respect. I work with individuals who are navigating a wide range of challenges, whether they stem from the past or are part of everyday life.

My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, and addiction. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to start, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, build resilience, and begin to heal.

You don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I specialize in medication management in treating mood, anxiety, psychotic, and substance use disorders. In the past, I worked as an RN in a dual diagnosis inpatient psychiatric unit. Recently, I have working in an outpatient private practice.

I am objective as it applies to one’s life.

Further, I am non judgemental. I help one to find their way to healing and wholeness.

As a Doctor in Nursing Practice, I have been in healthcare for over ten years, which has prepared me to manage my patients with evidence-based treatment modalities. I bring compassion and commitment to my practice of caring for the holistic needs of my patients, which entails a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of the patient’s psychological, emotional, and physical well-being, also creating a plan of care that will optimize a favorable outcome in a realistic, goal-oriented length of time, with the patient’s buy-in.

I specialize in working with adults who are navigating the complex intersections of ADHD and Addiction Recovery. For me, becoming a therapist was a calling forged through personal experience. My foundational passion for substance use recovery was born from a deep desire to support those battling the cycle of addiction, and today, I am energized by helping individuals turn their struggles into a path of sustainable freedom and focus.

As a Psychiatrist mental health nurse practitioner with over 22 years in nursing practice, I have a strong foundation in evidence-based practice and psychiatric care. I have been trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions using the latest research and clinical guidelines. Your treatment plan, which may include medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both, would be based on my professional expertise and designed to address the biological, psychological, and social aspects of your patient's well-being.

My identity as a spirit-filled Christian means that my faith is a core part of who I am. My faith often includes a belief in the power of prayer, spiritual guidance, and a holistic view of health that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. This translates into a deep sense of empathy and a non-judgmental approach, seeing each person as a valuable individual created in God's image.

I worked in various inpatient mental health facilities, assisted individuals with learning disabilities, helped others with chronic illnesses, taught people ways to manage life traumas, and guided people who suffered with grief.
