Everyone has times in their lives when they feel confused, conflicted, overwhelmed, or just plain stuck. Finding the right person to help you sort through it can feel overwhelming too—which is thankfully where I come in.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, pre- and postpartum challenges, relationship issues, self-esteem, and major life transitions. Over the years, my practice has evolved to focus primarily on adults who want to better understand what is getting in the way of their happiness, relationships, success, or overall well-being.

I’m warm, open-minded, down-to-earth, and believe humor absolutely has a place in therapy. I’m also serious about boundaries and helping people find their voice. You don’t have to become a different person to feel better. Often, our work is about understanding yourself more clearly, recognizing what is no longer working for you, and becoming more comfortable making choices based on what you actually need—not just what keeps everyone else happy.

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 Arlington

Searching for OCD therapists in Arlington starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care, not just general anxiety support. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and related concerns like anxiety or depression. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare options, look for therapists who list OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy in their bios.

Arlington is a smaller local market, so the number of nearby OCD therapists may be more limited than in larger Massachusetts cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still helping you find a therapist licensed in Massachusetts. As you narrow your search, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and how clearly they describe their work with OCD. Reading bios can help you tell the difference between a therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity and one who has specific training or experience with ERP.

Therapy in Arlington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
