Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Manassas, VA

Are you a teen or adult navigating anxiety, life transitions, or past trauma? As a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) with over 16 years of experience, I provide compassionate outpatient therapy tailored to your unique needs.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore (2010) and specialize in trauma-informed, client-centered therapy designed to foster lasting personal growth.

I'm a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish) who came to Virginia from Bolivia in 2003. Before entering private practice, I spent years working in Child Protective Services and maternal health — systems that gave me an honest, on-the-ground understanding of what families face when life gets complicated. That experience still shapes how I show up for clients today: I'm not here to give you textbook answers. I'm here to sit with the real thing. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, BPD, maternal mental health, and the kind of grief that doesn't fit on a sympathy card. I'm especially attuned to the unique pressures of immigration, cultural identity, and what it means to build a life in a country that wasn't your starting point. If you've ever felt like no one really gets the full picture of who you are, that's exactly the kind of space I try to create.

I’m a double board-certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner with a passion for supporting individuals through their mental health and overall wellness. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, poor concentration, hormonal optimization, military-related challenges, alcohol and substance use disorder, post traumatic-stress disorder, and more. I embrace integrative, whole person care that recognizes the interconnectedness, partnering with each patient to create personalized treatment tailored for each individual unique needs and goals.

I am a Licensed Psychologist with a decade of training and experience who is passionate about mental health. I provide individual therapy for adults with a wide variety of concerns, particularly specializing in anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and relationship concerns. I know that reaching out for therapy can be a vulnerable and daunting experience. I hope you are giving yourself credit for taking this first step.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor offering virtual therapy in Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision and specialize in working with individuals navigating the impact of childhood maltreatment and trauma, including sexual abuse. I also support women living with autoimmune diseases who are managing the emotional and psychological toll of chronic illness.

As the founder of ArborLight Health & Wellness, PLLC, I provide virtual psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults throughout Virginia experiencing anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood concerns, and women's mental health concerns.

I am a doctoral-prepared, dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with more than 26 years of healthcare experience. I bring both psychiatric and medical insight to treatment.

This background is especially valuable when mental health symptoms overlap with sleep concerns, medical conditions, stress, or hormonal changes such as perimenopause. My approach is direct, thoughtful, and evidence-based, with treatment tailored to your symptoms, health history, and individual needs.

Welcome! I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping individuals find healing through a well-rounded approach to mental wellness. True healing comes from caring for the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can be listened to, valued, and empowered to take an active role in your mental health journey. I have years of experience caring for individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, psychosis, substance use disorders, and other complex mental health conditions. Mental health is more than managing symptoms. Mental well-being is closely connected to physical health, relationships, purpose, and daily habits. Together, we will explore how these areas influence your overall wellness and develop a treatment plan that supports lasting growth. This may include medication management when appropriate, education, supportive therapy, healthy lifestyle strategies, stress management, sleep optimization, and building practical coping skills that fit your life.

As a Dominican-American therapist I am dedicated to the Latino community mental health providing services in English and Spanish. In the last 17 years I have worked with individuals and families offering culturally responsive and Trauma Informed services. I hold an accounting degree from Universidad APEC (UNAPEC), a bachelor’s in psychology from Universidad Tecnológica de Santiago (UTESA) and a Master of Arts degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University.
