Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Vienna, VA

You don't need to know exactly what's wrong before reaching out. Most people I work with start with a sense that something is off, or that they've been managing on their own for too long. That's enough to begin. I work with adults and adolescents facing trauma, depression, and substance use, which are often more connected than they look from the outside. Figuring out how they fit together is part of our work. I'm patient and fairly direct, and I keep a sense of humor in the room. Clients often tell me they don't feel rushed or judged with me, and that matters more to the work than any single technique.

Sometimes life can look fine from the outside while you are carrying much more than people realize. You may be managing work, family, relationships, or responsibilities for everyone else while quietly dealing with anxiety, stress, past experiences, relationship concerns, anger, or simply feeling stuck. Therapy can be a place where you no longer have to carry all of that by yourself.

I am a Licensed Therapist in Washington, DC and a Licensed Therapist in Virginia. I earned my Master of Social Work from Washington University and my Bachelor of Social Work from Howard University. I bring more than 25 years of experience in human services and have worked with adolescents, adults, and families across behavioral health and community-based settings.

My clinical work is grounded in trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based practice. I am especially interested in supporting people navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, emotional regulation, self-esteem, boundaries, and the pressure that can come from taking care of everyone while trying to take care of yourself.

You do not have to come to therapy with everything figured out. We can start with where you are.

I provide compassionate, confidential psychiatric care designed to help you feel supported and understood. Each treatment plan is personalized, using evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs and goals. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where we can work together to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, or sleep issues. Appointments are available virtually for your convenience.

I am Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) trained in medication management and individual therapy. I approach my work caring about the whole person and not simply treating diagnoses. I am aided by knowledge gained from my education: Bachelor's of Science in Sociology, Bachelor's of Science in Nursing, and Master's of Science in Nursing. I also draw from my 11 year career as a registered nurse in intensive care units and my 3 years as a Nurse Practitioner, working at an outpatient clinic as well as an inpatient crisis unit.

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

Life can be hard and sometimes overwhelming, but there is light, even if you can’t see it right now. You don’t have to carry everything alone. With support, healing and growth are possible. You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, but I’m here to walk alongside you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with over 10 years of experience in the helping profession, including clinical mental health work since 2020. I earned my Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health and School Counseling from Old Dominion University. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and veterans ages 11 to 40 supporting concerns such as life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem, and personal growth. I focus on building a genuine connection and creating a safe, welcoming space where you can be yourself. I value cultural humility and honor your unique experiences and strengths, meeting you where you are while supporting your growth. I believe healing happens in supportive relationships. Whether you’re facing challenges, processing the past, or moving into a new chapter, I’m here to support you. There is hope, and together we can help you move forward. Outside of counseling, I enjoy singing, painting, music, travel, and exploring different cultures, which help keep me grounded and inspired.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, past experiences, or your relationship with food, you’re not alone—I am here to help when you are ready to connect.

I’m a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, and eating-related patterns such as emotional eating, restriction, or feeling out of control around food.

I also bring personal insight to this work, which allows me to approach care with deeper understanding and compassion while maintaining a thoughtful, clinical approach to treatment.

I work with individuals who are dealing with ongoing anxiety, stress, or challenges with mood or eating patterns that are starting to impact their daily life.

My goal is to provide individualized psychiatric care where you feel supported and understood and have a clear, and we create a realistic plan to move forward.
