I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that healing happens best in spaces that are safe, honest, and non-judgmental. I work with those who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma.

My approach is collaborative and practical. We will focus on understanding what’s showing up in your life, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools you can use in real-world situations. I don’t believe in perfection—I believe in progress.

Clients often describe me as direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Therapist

Therapy with me is a space where you can be honest about what is happening in your life without feeling judged or expected to have everything figured out before you schedule your first session. I have experience working with individuals and families during some of the most difficult periods of their lives. Those experiences have taught me that people are often doing the best they can with the tools, experiences, and circumstances they have at the time. I believe therapy should be collaborative. I am not here to tell you how you should feel or simply give you advice. I want to understand your experiences, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and help you develop practical ways to cope, communicate, set boundaries, process difficult experiences, and move forward. I also believe that progress does not always look like feeling better immediately. Sometimes progress is understanding why you respond the way you do, recognizing a pattern, becoming more comfortable setting a boundary, learning to tolerate an uncomfortable emotion, or finally addressing something you have been avoiding. You do not have to come to therapy with a perfectly defined goal. We can figure that out together.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Huntsville

Finding OCD therapists in Huntsville starts with looking for care that matches how obsessive-compulsive disorder shows up for you. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination concerns, compulsive rituals, rumination, or related anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that list OCD experience, ERP, or related training so you can better understand whether their background fits your needs.

Huntsville has a range of behavioral health options, but the right match also depends on format, schedule, and clinical focus. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices, while in-person care may work better if you prefer a set location and routine. For OCD care, it helps to distinguish between therapists who mention OCD generally and therapists who describe specific ERP training or structured OCD care. Read each therapist’s profile for details on their approach, appointment availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.

Therapy in Huntsville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see your estimated cost before you book. You can compare therapists, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
