Services Offered

Initial Psychiatric Evaluation

A comprehensive psychiatric assessment focused on understanding your history, current concerns, and treatment goals. This includes diagnostic evaluation and discussion of treatment options.

Medication Management

Ongoing psychiatric medication management focused on effectiveness, tolerability, and overall wellbeing, with adjustments made thoughtfully and collaboratively.

All services are provided via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth for adults (18+) in Virginia.

About Me

I believe psychiatric care works best when it is thoughtful, transparent, and grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship.

I take time to understand each patient’s history, goals, and lived experience, and I approach treatment with care, consistency, and respect. My work emphasizes careful assessment, shared decision-making, and ongoing follow-up.

Many of the patients I work with are already engaged in therapy and seek psychiatric support to help stabilize mood, improve sleep, or manage symptoms more effectively. I view medication as one part of a broader treatment plan and approach it conservatively, with close monitoring and open communication.

At ArborLight Health & Wellness, my goal is to provide psychiatric care that feels steady, collaborative, and supportive over time—so patients can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
