Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Vienna, VA covered by Cigna

Sometimes just getting through the day can feel like a full-time job. Finding a mental health provider who truly understands you may seem out of reach, but it’s absolutely possible. Before anything else, I’m human. I’m also a woman, born overseas and shaped by the diversity of a Southern metropolitan city. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life and am passionate about partnering with patients as they move toward greater health, balance, and fulfillment. You don't have to navigate it all alone. You can exhale- we’ll take it from here, together.

I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and complex trauma. I keep a warm, empathetic space where clients explore how thoughts and past experiences impact their mood and overall well-being. I genuinely value connection and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship.

**Only taking individual clients now. No couples till the fall.

Hi, I am a Licensed, Board-Certified Therapist providing psychotherapy services to clients in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Virginia. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing anxiety, addiction, anger, relationship challenges, and a wide range of other mental health concerns.

As a member of and advocate for the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, I strive to provide affirming, culturally responsive, and inclusive care. I am also a certified Gottman Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work (7P's) Couples Workshop Leader, helping couples strengthen communication, deepen connection, and build healthier relationships.

In addition to providing therapy, I offer professional clinical supervision for Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor Limited Permit (LMHC-LP) professionals, supporting their growth and development in clinical practice.

Believing you are the expert in your life my hope is to act as a beacon of light on a path that sometimes goes dark.

I'm a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs. For the past 8 years, I’ve worked closely with individuals managing chronic pain and substance use disorders, providing integrated support that addresses both physical and mental health needs. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and PTSD with a focus on individuals over 18 years old.

​I am experienced in treating PPD/PPA, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and related concerns. I am trained in EMDR with a focus on the perinatal period.

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.

Life can feel like juggling 20 things at once—especially when you’re trying to heal, grow, and keep everything together. You may look capable on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, distracted, misunderstood, or stuck.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting adults through ADHD, anxiety, mood concerns, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with women, neurodivergent adults, POC , and anyone who has ever felt different, judged, or outside of what society considers “normal.”

My approach makes room for culture, identity, and each client’s lived experience.

My style is relaxed, warm, open-minded, and direct. You will not have to mask, perform, or edit yourself in sessions. I provide a judgment-free space where we can be honest, explore what is really happening, and develop realistic steps toward your goals.

Evening and late-evening appointments are available for clients who need therapy to fit around work, parenting, school, or everyday life.
