Depression Therapists in Maryland

At some point in life, we all feel stuck and need to pivot. Often when we are looking for solutions to our problems the sage advice is to try something NEW. Why? Because our brains respond to novelty – it helps us adapt and manage stress. Therapy for many can be that reset. It takes bravery and grit to start a new therapeutic relationship. I'm so glad you are here today. Let me tell you a bit about me. I'm a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Virginia, military brat, and mother of three little ones. I provide virtual therapy (individuals & couples) and psychological assessment (primarily ADHD and Trauma evaluations) for the DC, MD, VA area (otherwise known as DMV). I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and trauma. I work with adults who are experiencing challenges with concentration, anxiety, eating/body image, depressed mood, flashbacks related to trauma, irritability or a combination of these factors. Many of my clients are amazingly kind, generous, and driven individuals who hold themselves to high standards. Often our work is focused on increasing flexibility, building trust, acceptance and self-compassion. We pivot, when needed, we laugh when it is appropriate. This process is not linear and unique to every person. I'd be honored to begin that process with you whenever you are ready to get started.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner offering compassionate, evidence-based care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood changes, burnout, high stress, and major life transitions. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and brief supportive therapy in a safe, respectful, and collaborative environment. Whether you are considering medication for the first time or have tried it before without success, I work with you to find an approach that feels effective and manageable—not overwhelming. I take time to understand your full picture, not just your symptoms, so we can create a treatment plan that truly fits your life and supports your emotional well-being.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide personalized care to teens, adults, and seniors experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and psychotic disorders. I believe that every person’s journey is unique, and I strive to meet each client where they are—with empathy, compassion, respect, and clinical excellence. I obtained my Master of Science and Doctor of Nursing Practice degrees from Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. For over a decade, I have passionately served individuals diagnosed with mental disorders and comorbidities. My approach to care is collaborative, holistic, and evidence-based. With hope at the center of care, I work closely with clients to create individualized treatment plans that may include medication management, supportive psychotherapy, and lifestyle strategies that promote mental and physical well-being. I value open communication, transparency, and trust. I recognize that reaching out for help can feel daunting, but it’s an important and courageous first step toward change. I’m here to listen, guide, and support you every step of the way. If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and improved well-being, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work toward restoring balance, hope and wellness.

However, I collaborate closely with psychiatrists and can provide referrals if needed.  My Theoretical Orientation I provide high-quality mental health services that are both scientifically grounded and deeply compassionate, fostering a friendly, accepting, and inclusive environment for all patients. My extensive training spans various therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, as well as cognitive-behavioral treatments like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based CBT (MB-CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and manualized treatments for insomnia, phobias, and PTSD. I also enjoy incorporating Positive Psychology, Interpersonal/Relational Therapy, Existential-Humanistic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to support meaningful change. I approach mental health from a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual facets. I am committed to providing a compassionate listening space where you are invited to reflect and explore yourself, understanding your deepest challenges and strengths. Through patient listening, reflecting, shared inquiry, and various evidence based interventions, I strive to help you become more aware of your patterns and thoughts, fostering greater self-understanding and clarity. My goal is to support you in making meaningful and skillful choices that align with your true self.  My Therapeutic Style My approach to mental health, in general, is characterized by an accepting and caring environment that is collaborative in nature. I am authentic, down-to-earth, intentional, and spontaneous in session, which lends itself to a truly collaborative and growth-promoting experience. Therapy with me is a collaborative, action-oriented process providing you the opportunity to foster new perspectives, discover your inherent worth, tap into your inner resources, and develop your capacity for resilience and new skills. I enjoy working from a holistic yet evidence-based approach.  I show up authentically for each patient, and I value transparency and provide my full presence. Patients who work with me can expect to explore feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, understand memories, process destructive relationships, and identify dysfunction, which will lead to a better understanding of themselves and others. During therapy, there is an ongoing effort to develop effective coping skills, decrease emotional distress, improve functioning, and resolve symptoms and problems. Each therapy session is a balance of meeting your present needs and long-term goals. Collaboratively, we will deepen your understanding of yourself your reactions to various emotions and, increase your psychological flexibility and create new perspectives.  My Wishes for You I wish you a life full of love, happiness, fulfillment and health. I am committed to helping you build and find it! It is my greatest honor to accompany my patients on their journey toward deeper self-awareness, growth, the emergence from suffering while becoming a meaningful part of my patient’s lives.
