Psychiatric Care That Fits Your Busy Schedule | Evening & Weekend Appointments

Balancing work, family, and personal responsibilities can make mental health care difficult to prioritize. You deserve care that fits your life.

At CittaCare Psychiatry, I provide personalized psychiatric evaluations and medication management through secure telehealth for adults in Virginia and Washington. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 20 years of nursing experience, including more than 7 years in psychiatric care, I offer compassionate, evidence-based treatment tailored to your needs.

Specializing in care that works around your schedule, I offer evening and weekend appointments for busy professionals, working parents, and adults who cannot easily attend appointments during traditional business hours.

I help address Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Mood disorders, Perinatal Mood Disorders, Trauma-related symptoms, and Sleep difficulties. My collaborative approach focuses on understanding your concerns, respecting your goals, and developing an individualized treatment plan.

Your mental health deserves a place on your schedule. Take the first step toward feeling better with personalized psychiatric care designed to fit your life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I take time to understand your concerns, experiences, and treatment goals so we can develop a personalized plan that fits your needs.

I provide psychiatric medication management and brief supportive psychotherapy, helping you understand your treatment options and make informed decisions about your mental health. I value open communication and strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected.

With convenient evening and weekend telehealth appointments in Virginia and Washington, I make it easier to prioritize your mental health while balancing work and personal responsibilities.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, symptoms, mental health history, and treatment goals in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. I'll listen carefully, answer your questions, and work with you to understand your needs.

Together, we'll explore appropriate treatment options and develop a personalized plan. If medication is appropriate, we'll discuss its potential benefits, risks, and next steps.

You don't need to have all the answers before your appointment. My goal is for you to feel heard, informed, and supported as you begin your journey toward better mental health.
