IN-PERSON OR ZOOM APPOINTMENTS

I received my medical degree at the University of Pennsylvania. I am an expert psychopharmacologist who provides psychiatric care for a wide range of challenges in adults, adolescents, and children. I take a patient-centered approach starting from scientific treatment guidelines and focusing on your individual needs. I offer medication treatment (psychopharmacology) and talk therapy (psychotherapy), and I am skillful at combining these two approaches. I have wide-ranging expertise including the treatment of anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship problems, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, impulse control disorders, women-specific psychiatric needs, drug addiction and schizophrenia.

I have expertise in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic psychotherapy, which are the main pillars of modern psychotherapy. I combine elements of these therapies into my medication-management sessions for a well-rounded approach that takes the whole person into consideration. With these tools, we will work on both the biological level and the psychosocial level. We will work together to explore unconscious thoughts and feelings, while at the same time focusing on change in the here-and-now. If you prefer to see another therapist while I provide medication treatment, I will reach out to your therapist to create a coordinated plan of care.

For those struggling with drug addiction I offer confidential and compassionate help. I treat addiction to opiates or opioids (pain pills, etc.), alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, stimulants, party drugs, benzodiazepines (tranquilizers) and other common drugs of abuse.

Please contact me for an appointment or for information by calling my receptionist, Christy, at (301) 750-2744.

In addition to seeing patients in person in my Rockville, MD, office, I am available to see patients located in the states of Maryland, Virginia, New York, and Massachusetts by videoconference. To be eligible for videoconference appointments, patients must first be seen in person in the office.

Patient Testimonial: “I feel like you are a lifesaver and I hope you sleep well at night knowing how many people you’ve probably helped move forward in their lives.”
