Certified Physician Assistant

I am a provider at our North Bethesda clinic who offers psychiatric services! I am a certified Physician Assistant and have completed my CAQ certification.

I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds who are suffering from mental health issues. I am able to diagnose and treat people experiencing symptoms of a variety of mental health conditions including (but not limited to): anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, and schizophrenia. My ideal patient would be ready to take a collaborative and holistic approach to their mental health to ease their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

I will provide kind and compassionate care to people of all ages and from all backgrounds. I like to work in a collaborative way with my clients to help them get the individualized help that they are looking for. I believe in treating the whole person, as there can be a lot of different factors influencing the severity of the psychiatric symptoms. This holistic care will include medication management and brief counseling, but often includes discussions about lifestyle interventions, alternative treatment options, and communicating with talk therapists, other medical professions and/or involved family members (if desired).

I believe that mental health stability sets the foundation for people to enjoy and succeed in their lives. I feel honored to have the opportunity to use my skills and knowledge to help make my clients’ lives better. Originally from the Midwest, I moved to Montgomery County 15 years ago and I love the excitement and diversity of the area! I am married and have two daughters. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, hiking, and traveling.
