Hi, I’m Roxi, a mom to grown people, a sister to seven siblings, and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I listed my LPC last not because it’s not important but because along my life’s journey and more than thirty plus years of human service and social work experience, I have a lot of practical life and clinical expertise that I’ve accumulated over the years. My LPC allows me to share my experiences with others and with that, I am walking and working in my purpose.
Life can pull us in a hundred different directions, and sometimes it takes slowing down, getting real, and having honest conversations to find our way forward. My approach is straightforward and commpassionate - no judgment, no fluff. I meet you where you are, walk beside you through the challenges, and help you rediscover your strength, clarity, and purpose.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy through secure telehealth appointments.
I have over 18 years of nursing experience, including 8 years in forensic psychiatry, nursing leadership, and education. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of mental illness across different settings and have shaped my patient-centered approach to care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Alexandria
Searching for therapists in Alexandria starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Many therapists list specialties such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare Alexandria therapists, look for training, therapy style, and listed focus areas that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Alexandria, local office options may be more limited than in nearby larger markets, so virtual therapy can help broaden your search. You may prefer an in-person therapist near Old Town, Del Ray, or another Alexandria neighborhood, or you may want virtual sessions that fit more easily into your schedule. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, session structure, and communication style.
Therapy in Alexandria can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get clearer pricing before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can enter your insurance details, see your estimated out-of-pocket cost, review therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
