I believe that optimal mental health is achieved through an ongoing, multi-pronged approach. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner I am well trained in the art and science of prescribing medications to improve mental health symptoms. I also encourage adjunctive treatment modalities such as CBT. Empowering patients to care for themselves is part of my goal. I embrace opportunities to help my patients gain greater personal insight, because when you can see yourself, you can change yourself.
Most of us never saw healthy communication growing up—and that makes connection feel harder than it should. As your relationship therapist/coach, I help individuals and couples develop relational competence so you can break old patterns, communicate with clarity, and create more secure and nurturing relationships.
Meeting clients where they are is my specialty. I have extensive experience and training working with survivors of trauma and clients who are facing grief and loss. I offer space for holistic approaches that clients embrace and utilize beyond therapy, and encourage them to grow and heal.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding therapists in Rockville starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may be the right fit. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, couples counseling, or support for work stress and identity-related concerns.
Rockville has local therapy options, but availability can vary by schedule, location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Maryland while still letting you work with a licensed therapist who fits your needs. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their communication style, clinical focus, and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Rockville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
