Her clinical focus includes anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and ADHD. Dr. Anderson is board certified in Adult Psychiatry and is licensed to practice in the state of Maryland.

Dr. Anderson takes a calm, supportive, and collaborative approach to working with her patients.  She is committed to providing an inclusive, respectful, and nonjudgmental space, and she values and affirms individuals from all backgrounds, identities, life experiences, and belief systems.  She values building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship and believes care is most effective when it is tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. Dr. Anderson provides medication management and, as appropriate, offers psychotherapy to support patients as they work toward meaningful and lasting progress.
