My Approach

Personalized, Evidence-Based Psychiatric Care

I believe psychiatric treatment should be personalized, evidence-based, and collaborative. Medication can be a powerful tool when used thoughtfully, but it works best when combined with therapy, education, and lifestyle support. Serving teens and adults across Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, and Loudoun County, Virginia.

As Medical Director, I am committed to maintaining high standards of care while ensuring every patient feels heard and respected. I take time to explain treatment options clearly so you understand the why behind any recommendations.

Clients describe me as...
Calm, attentive, and steady. I take time to listen carefully, explain treatment options clearly, and make sure you understand the why behind any recommendations. My goal is for you to feel informed and confident in your care.
I work best with clients who...
Value collaboration and open communication. Whether you are new to psychiatric care or have tried medications before, I create a respectful space where questions are welcome and decisions are made together.

A thorough evaluation that looks at your history, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals. We discuss options clearly, and if medication is part of the plan, it will be monitored carefully with ongoing follow-up.
