Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to being the one who holds things together for everyone else. I work with teens and adults who may look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Many of my clients are insightful and thoughtful people who want more than quick coping strategies — they want to understand themselves more deeply and experience real, lasting change.
I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner for over 5 years, and I am also a board certified adult nurse practitioner for over 12 years. I began my nursing career graduating from university of MD with my bachelors, and then attended Johns Hopkins University for my masters. I decided to further my education by attending Brandman University to obtain my Doctorate and psychiatric mental health certification in 2018.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe in prioritizing our mental health. My goal is make therapy feel approachable, empowering, and warm. I will meet you where you are on your life journey and collaborate with you on meeting your goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Arlington
Finding OCD therapists in Arlington starts with looking for training that matches how obsessive-compulsive disorder is often addressed in care. OCD support may focus on intrusive thoughts, compulsions, rituals, avoidance, or anxiety that connects to specific fears. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is a common therapy approach used for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, and OCD experience in their bios so you can choose someone whose background fits your needs.
Arlington has a smaller local therapist market than nearby Washington, DC, so virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to Virginia-licensed therapists. If you prefer in-person care, consider office location, commute time, and appointment availability. If virtual care fits your schedule better, look for therapists with session times that match your calendar. It can also help to read each therapist’s profile for details on how they describe OCD care, since listing OCD as an area of focus differs from naming specific ERP training or related methods.
Therapy in Arlington can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review their specialties, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway also accepts a wide range of insurance plans nationally, with coverage confirmed based on your plan and location, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
