As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide compassionate, evidence-based care focused on helping you regain stability and move forward with confidence. I earned my MSN from Eastern Kentucky University and my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Missouri State University.

For over eight years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children and adolescents who are navigating mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief and loss, and Autism. I understand that these experiences can shape how young people view themselves, trust others, manage difficult emotions, and perform in school. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel understood, safe, and empowered to grow.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Gaithersburg, MD

Searching for therapists in Gaithersburg starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or other forms of support.

Gaithersburg has local therapy options, but availability can vary across nearby areas like Kentlands, Lakeforest, and other parts of Montgomery County. Virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care connected to a Maryland-licensed therapist. As you narrow your options, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each bio before booking can also give you a clearer sense of communication style, clinical focus, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Gaithersburg can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for specific therapists in Gaithersburg and see available virtual or in-person appointments. You can review profiles, enter your insurance details for an upfront cost estimate, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
