Sometimes life does not go as smoothly as we would hope. Sometimes we need a little help negotiating life's challenges, particularly when we experience feelings of sadness, isolation, anxiety, or discontent. As a practitioner of psychiatry in the Washington-Baltimore area for over ten years, I have learned to look at individuals as a whole and help them draw on their strengths to negotiate life's obstacles. Doing so allows me to determine their needs and provide the compassionate, quality treatment that people deserve. I offer psychotherapy and medication management services to adults.
