Psychiatrist serving Rockville, MD
Thoughtful psychiatric care for the Rockville community — biotech and government professionals, families balancing two careers and three school schedules, and students navigating the pressure of the MCPS magnet system. Telehealth across Maryland with in-person visits on request.
What we hear from Rockville patients
Rockville is a working town. The biotech corridor runs north from Twinbrook, FDA campuses are walking distance from the Metro, and a large share of our patients are scientists, project managers, attorneys, and federal contractors whose calendars are not their own. Parents are juggling MCPS schedules across multiple kids; adolescents at Richard Montgomery, Wootton, and Magruder carry coursework that would have been considered college-level a generation ago.
We try to meet that reality with care that is steady, not flashy. Visits run long enough to actually think. Medications are reviewed deliberately. We aim for treatment plans you can describe to your spouse over dinner and feel good about.

How we work
- Board-certified prescribers. Each prescribing clinician is board-certified and licensed in Maryland.
- Patient-centered treatment plans. Your priorities, side-effect tolerance, and life context shape the plan — not a default protocol.
- Evidence-based, current. We follow APA guidelines and use measurement-based tools to track progress.
- Real follow-up cadence. Follow-ups are scheduled at clinically appropriate intervals, not parked weeks out by default.
- Coordinated with your team. We talk with your therapist and PCP when you authorize it.
Insurance & payment
We are in network with most major commercial plans common to Montgomery County employers, plus Maryland Medicaid. Visit the insurance page for self-pay rates and verification details.
Telepsychiatry across Maryland
Visits use a HIPAA-compliant video platform that runs in any current browser. You will need to be located in Maryland during the visit. Most Rockville patients log in from a home office, a quiet conference room, or a parked car between appointments.
Rockville FAQ
How soon can a Rockville patient be seen?
New evaluations are usually offered within five to seven business days. Lunch-hour and early-evening telehealth slots tend to be the first to fill, so book early in the week when possible.
Do you see patients who work along the Rockville biotech corridor?
Yes. A meaningful portion of our caseload is from the I-270 biotech corridor and federal contracting firms based in Rockville. Telepsychiatry from a private office or home is the most common arrangement.
My child attends Richard Montgomery, Wootton, or Magruder. Do you treat adolescents?
We treat adolescents from age twelve and up. Common reasons we see Rockville-area teens include ADHD, anxiety, depression, and school-related stress. A parent or guardian attends the first visit.
Can you coordinate with my therapist in Rockville or my primary care doctor?
Yes. With your written authorization we send updates to your therapist and PCP after relevant visits and discuss medication changes when appropriate. Many of our patients are already in therapy.
Are evening or weekend slots available?
We hold a limited number of late-afternoon and early-evening appointments Monday through Friday, and weekend visits on request. Tell us your scheduling constraints at intake and we will work within them where we can.
What insurance do you accept?
In network plans include CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Johns Hopkins EHP, Priority Partners, and Maryland Medicaid. We verify benefits before your first appointment.
