Psychiatrists Beginning With S in Virginia

NOT Accepting New Clients at this time: I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a special interest in working with adults experiencing life disruptions from anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, and some mood disorders. I received my Bachelor’s in Science in Nursing from South University. After graduating from nursing school, I was an ER nurse for 8 years, where I experienced firsthand the gap between medical and psychiatric care, and how the mind/body connection is often ignored. These gaps encouraged me to pursue my PMHNP degree. I received my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University.

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar illness, women's mental health, and addiction. I am licensed in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. I work collaboratively with individuals and their families, and other mental health and medical providers. My goal is to help you customize a plan that enables you to find lasting change. This plan may involve medication, therapy, or a combination of both.

Accepting New Patients. Our ideal client is YOU! Trouble sleeping, depression, mood lability, anxiety, hallucinations, paranoia, trouble concentrating, suicidal, homicidal, grief, drug use, and so many other things each and everyone may experience at some point in their life. However, if these things are not allowing you to live your best life we are here to assist. No one should have to go through these events alone or feel isolated from others. We are here to serve you and provide all resources available to assist with the above symptoms.

In today's hustle and bustle society, it is easy to overlook one's own needs and well-being. Mental health symptoms can impair our capacity to function at maximum potential. As a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and physician, I strive to understand each patient as an individual, with a unique background, set of priorities, and co-occurring psychiatric and medical conditions. I work collaboratively with my patients in designing a personalized treatment plan to effectively target symptoms and reduce suffering. Treatment modalities offered include use of psychotropic medication, psychotherapy, and combined medication and therapy.

I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, which involves educating, guiding, and assisting patients within my expertise. As a prescriber, I value the combination of medication and psychotherapy for the best mental healthcare of clients.

I take a warm, thoughtful, and calm approach to patients and their challenges. When you give more of yourself than you should and the world demands more than you can offer, it helps to learn about the stress response signals your body and mind are sending you. Many conditions can benefit from medications or incorporating an involved approach in talk therapy. I encourage you to explore my website and different services offered.
