Bio
After completing her training at the University of Maryland/Sheppard Pratt Psychiatry Residency Program and at the University of Maryland Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship Program, Dr. Elliker is excited to be returning to her hometown. Born and raised in a Navy family, Dr. Elliker spent much of her childhood in Hampton Roads and is familiar with what it means to be from "the 757.”
Dr. Elliker has also enjoyed living in other parts of the country including San Diego, Memphis, Northern VA, and most recently, Baltimore. Living in these areas sparked a desire to learn about how different backgrounds and experiences shape people, an interest that drew her to psychiatry.
Dr. Elliker and her husband enjoy spending time with nearby family, trying new restaurants, and being outdoors. They are loving parents of a calico cat named Wilma, who will be a big sister to a baby boy due November 2020.
