Welcome. If you have been feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, mood swings, or trouble focusing, you are not alone. Maybe your teen is struggling, or you are exhausted from trying to manage symptoms on your own. When your mood, energy, or attention feel out of control, daily life can feel harder than it should. I offer a supportive, judgment free space where your concerns are taken seriously.
I'm April — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked alongside people in some of the hardest chapters of their lives: crisis moments in emergency settings, school hallways with overwhelmed teenagers, and outpatient rooms where families were trying to figure out how to be in the same room again. That range of experience has shaped how I work. I know that anxiety looks different in a 15-year-old than it does in a 40-year-old. I know that couples who love each other can still feel like strangers. And I know that healing isn't linear — it takes time, trust, and the right support.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and marital concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. For clients who want it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that weaves Christian beliefs and values into the therapeutic process — thoughtfully, ethically, and at your pace.
Hi! I’m Katie, and I’m a licensed psychotherapist helping people create a life they love. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in publishing at Penguin Random House and previously ran a jewelry line carried in over 250 stores nationwide. After earning my master’s from the Crown Family School of Social Work, I completed my clinical training at UChicago Medicine and LifePath Therapy Associates. Today, I use a combination of CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to support C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, young professionals, writers, and anyone navigating uncertainty to create meaningful change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Arlington, VA
Searching for postpartum therapists in Arlington starts with finding a therapist whose training matches what you want support for. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, postpartum support, or maternal mental health. Some therapists may also list a PMH-C credential, which signals specialized training in perinatal mental health care.
In Arlington, local options may include offices near neighborhoods, Metro stops, and nearby areas across northern Virginia. For new parents, practical fit matters too. An unpredictable schedule, infant care, physical recovery, or a return-to-work plan can shape whether in-person or virtual therapy works better. Virtual appointments can expand access to postpartum support in Virginia, especially when leaving home is harder to plan. Before booking, read therapist bios for details on availability, session structure, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
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 make postpartum support more affordable. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can compare therapists, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
