Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, or the transitions that come with different stages of life. You don't have to navigate these experiences alone. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change from an eclectic evidenced based approach that promotes hope, stability, and wellness, including faith-based perspective.

I specialize in working with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, intimate relationship conflict, and couples counseling.I believes my purpose is to assist individuals to live life healthy and with hope.

I have extensive experience with substance abuse, holding a previous Certified Alcohol Drug Certificate (CADC) in Illinois, previous certification as an Emergency Services Prescreener with mental health, certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional, trained in level 2 of the Gottman Couples Method, experienced with anxiety, depression, grief & loss, and intimate relationship conflict. I received an outstanding excellent therapy award in 2021 and am committed to lives being changed. I am inspired daily by my husband, two adult children, and in love with my five grandchildren. In my spare time I love exercising, running miles, and reading educational/spiritual literature to keep myself sharp to assist others in sharpen themselves.

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.

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 Richmond

Finding OCD therapists in Richmond starts with looking for training that matches obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, or mental rituals. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD, or OCD-specific experience in their bios.

Richmond offers a strong mix of therapy options, but the right match depends on more than location. You may prefer an office near downtown Richmond, the Fan, or surrounding areas like Chesterfield, or you may want the added flexibility of virtual appointments. For OCD care, it helps to compare therapists who list OCD as an area of focus with those who describe specific ERP training or structured OCD care. Review each bio for approach, availability, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Richmond can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can search for Richmond therapists who focus on OCD, filter by insurance and appointment format, read bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
