    About Lucy

    Lucy has clinical experience in inpatient psychiatry, forensic mental health, correctional settings, and community-based care. She provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, accurate diagnosis using DSM-5-TR criteria, medication management, and individualized treatment planning tailored to each patient's needs.

    She treats a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression and mood disorders, anxiety disorders and panic disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia spectrum and psychotic disorders, ADHD, trauma- and stressor-related disorders including PTSD, eating disorders, substance use and co-occurring disorders, insomnia and sleep-related concerns, personality disorders, and OCD.

    Lucy conducts ADHD assessments, including QbCheck—an FDA-cleared, objective computer-based assessment that measures attention, impulsivity, and activity to support accurate ADHD diagnosis and treatment monitoring for both children and adults. She offers appointments during both daytime and evening weekday hours to accommodate a variety of schedules.

    Lucy's clinical approach integrates psychopharmacology with trauma-informed and recovery-oriented care. She believes that healing is not linear and that every individual deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered in their mental health journey. She prioritizes collaborative treatment planning, patient education, and culturally sensitive care to ensure patients are active participants in their recovery.

    Lucy earned her Master of Science in Nursing, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, from Walden University. She is currently pursuing her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree with a focus on executive leadership to further expand her impact in advancing mental health systems and patient-centered care.

    Lucy currently accepts the following insurance plans: Medicare, Medicaid (non-HMO), AETNA (Commercial), Cigna, Sentara, Optum, Anthem Medicare (Virginia), Anthem Commercial (Virginia), and Anthem Medicaid (Virginia).

    At Innovative Care LLC, Lucy strives to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where individuals can build resilience, regain balance, and move toward meaningful, sustainable recovery.
