I use coping skills such as deep breathing and exercise (especially walking) for recurrent anxious feelings. I try to inhale for about 5 seconds and exhale for 7 seconds- doing this technique helps my body shift toward a calmer state. I try to exercise 3 times a week for 30 minutes- during exercise, I talk positively to myself (e.g. I can do it. I'm strong). Using motivation helps me achieve my goals and reduces my anxious feelings.

I earned my Master of Science in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing from Walden University, and I am board certified and licensed to provide mental health care across the lifespan. I have experience caring for populations with a wide range of mental health conditions in outpatient clinics, community mental health, substance use clinics, primary care, and telehealth settings. Prior to obtaining my nurse practitioner license, I worked as a registered nurse in the emergency room, primary care, and mental health outpatient/inpatient settings.
As a PMHNP, I provide psychiatric evaluations, diagnoses (depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, insomnia, ADHD), medication management, patient education, and supportive care with evidence-based treatment.
I have a strong belief in treating individuals by considering biological, psychological, and social factors, partnering with patients on treatment plans that align with their goals. I'm committed to a safe, respectful, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard and supported. I look forward to collaborating with patients to achieve great outcomes.

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Bethesda, MD specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.
Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Bethesda can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.
Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.
Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.
If you are feeling depressed, anxious, or you’re struggling with another mental illness that we haven’t yet touched on, consider contacting Thriveworks in Bethesda, MD. Not only do we have therapists and counselors, but our Thriveworks Bethesda team is also comprised of online psychiatric nurse practitioners who can offer a diagnosis and provide medication management as well as therapy.
Our mental health professionals will help to determine what the best course of treatment is for your specific situation. To get started with a Thriveworks Bethesda psychiatric provider, just call (240) 513-3093.
Medication management is the process of assessing one’s need for medication, prescribing said medication, and overseeing the individual’s use of the prescribed medication. Typically, a nurse practitioner or psychiatrist will conduct this analysis and head medication management, which is super important to one’s trajectory in treatment for a given mental illness.
If you reach out to Thriveworks Bethesda, MD to schedule an appointment with one of our online psychiatric providers, your provider will keep your health and wellbeing at the forefront. This means that they will check that you’re getting the desired outcome from the medication that they prescribe you. If you don’t receive the desired benefits or your state declines instead of improving, they’ll then help you find a different medication. In any case, it’s important that you follow their exact instructions for taking your medicine. For example, the following are all important:
Oftentimes, clients don’t understand just how important the above factors are. It’s up to their online psychiatric provider to explain to them exactly how to take their medication and why their instructions are important to their health and success in treatment.
As we have reiterated many times over, it’s vital that you understand your medication: its purpose, potential side effects, proper usage, and more. If you decide to meet with one of our online psychiatric providers here at Thriveworks Bethesda, you won’t have to worry about figuring out this process alone.
Your Thriveworks provider will be there with you every step of the way. They’ll do their best to find the medication that can best benefit you, monitor how it’s helping (or, in some cases, hurting) you, and make any necessary adjustments.
You can begin working with a Thriveworks Bethesda online psychiatric providers as soon as this week. Just call our office to kickstart the process and we will be happy to get you scheduled with your first appointment.
