Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 23 years of clinical experience and an approved supervisor to counseling residents. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Mental Health Psychology in 2002 and a Master’s degree in Community/Clinical Psychology from Norfolk State University in 2005. Before going into private practice, I spent several years working in community services supporting client mental health journeys. I currently work with adults, families, and adolescents. My specialty includes treating culturally diverse patients, depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions/adjustment, sexual abuse, anger management, and serious mental illness.

In supporting a new client, we will begin at the client's point of readiness. We will address the client's mental health needs/symptoms with CBT, mindfulness certifications/other required clinical skills.

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 Charlottesville

Finding OCD therapists in Charlottesville starts with knowing which type of care to look for. Exposure and response prevention, or ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you’re looking for support with obsessions, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, rituals, or anxiety that shows up alongside OCD, review therapist profiles for specific mentions of ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or OCD-focused care.

Charlottesville is a smaller market, so the number of local therapists with specific OCD and ERP training may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you search for therapists licensed in Virginia. As you compare therapists, look beyond whether OCD appears in a specialty list. Read each bio for details about ERP training, appointment availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered, since those details can help you find a stronger practical and clinical fit.

Therapy in Charlottesville 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 OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check your estimated out-of-pocket cost, and book directly when you’re ready.
