A little clarity.
A more comfortable next step.

No. You can begin with what you have been noticing, even if you do not have a name for it. Your evaluation gives me time to understand your concerns, history, and what you hope will change.

If you feel ready, choose Begin Your Care to view my Headway profile and choose an appointment. If you would like a brief conversation first, visit Let’s Talk About You for details about the optional introductory call.

No. It is an optional conversation to ask general questions and explore whether my practice feels like a good fit. You can choose an appointment directly through Headway. The introductory call is not a psychiatric evaluation or treatment visit.

Call me directly at (240) 875-6149. I may be able to answer. If I am unavailable, leave your name, callback number, and a brief message, and I will return your call. Please keep detailed medical information out of your voicemail.

Initial psychiatric evaluations are 60 minutes. Follow-up appointments are 45–60 minutes. Therapy-only appointments are typically 50–60 minutes.

I take time to listen to what has brought you here. I ask about your symptoms, health history, previous care, daily life, and goals. Together, you and I discuss the next steps that fit your needs.

Yes. Therapy-only appointments are available. You do not have to take medication to receive care in my practice.

Medication management is one option, not a requirement. Depending on your needs, your care may include psychotherapy, supportive strategies, medication, or a combination. I explain the options so you can take part in decisions about your treatment.

My approach may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), supportive therapy, and EMDR when clinically appropriate. I tailor the approach to your concerns, readiness, and goals.

You do not need to choose just one concern before reaching out. Mood, sleep, attention, hormonal changes, eating patterns, and life experiences can influence one another. I consider those connections as I develop your care plan with you.

Visit my Headway profile to check your insurance and available appointment options. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs depend on your plan. Confirm your benefits and expected costs before your appointment.

Self-pay appointments are available. Contact me for current rates.

Yes. My practice provides care through telehealth. Choose a quiet, private space for your appointment where you can speak comfortably.
