Great to meet you!

I am a Board Certified Psychiatry Mental Health Nurse Practitioner(CRNP-PMH) serving Maryland residents. I offer specialized mental health care services to individuals across the lifespan who are experiencing a wide range of psychiatric conditions. My expertise lies in diagnosing, treating, and managing mental health disorders through a holistic and evidence-based approach which includes incorporating patient's emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual needs.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and culturally sensitive care to individuals struggling with mental health issues. My goal is to support, educate and empower patients on their journey to recovery and help them achieve optimal mental wellness and quality of life.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect a compassionate, supportive, and collaborative approach in our sessions. I aim to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves and exploring their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Provide evidence-based interventions and education about their condition and treatment options. Provide thorough explanations and answer any questions clients may have to help them feel informed and empowered in their healthcare journey.
