Seeking help can feel like a big step, especially if you've been managing on your own for a long time. I'm a board-certified psychiatrist offering telehealth medication management for adults across Virginia and Pennsylvania — with evening and weekend appointments, so care fits into your life instead of competing with it.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar and mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, personality disorders including BPD, chronic suicidal ideation, and burnout. Many of my patients are high-functioning professionals who appear fine on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or not like themselves. I have a special focus on women's mental health, including PMDD, postpartum depression and anxiety, and mood changes through perimenopause.

My approach is evidence-based, collaborative, and practical. I provide medication management within a broader therapeutic framework, drawing on CBT and supportive therapy — our sessions go beyond symptom checks. Care begins with a thorough evaluation, followed by treatment tailored to you, coping skills, and close follow-up. You'll always understand the why behind your treatment; medication is one tool, never the whole plan.

I also welcome patients who prefer care in Urdu, Punjabi, or Hindi. If you're ready, I'd be glad to help you take the next step.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arlington

Finding the right ADHD provider in Arlington starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Therapists who specialize in ADHD can help with focus, time management, emotional regulation, and building day-to-day structure — often using approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or behavioral therapy. If you're looking for medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit. Many people with ADHD benefit from working with both a therapist and a prescriber.

Arlington is part of the DC metro area, where demand for mental health care is high and provider availability can vary. When narrowing your search, consider what matters most — whether that's a provider experienced with adult ADHD, someone who works with children and teens, or a specific therapeutic approach. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before booking.

Therapy in the Arlington area can be expensive without coverage, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Arlington and see estimated session costs.
