I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage! I am here to support you in that process.
Finding the right therapist matters. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. My style is conversational, collaborative, and direct, balancing warmth with honesty and practical feedback. I work especially well with individuals impacted by trauma, chronic stress, and moral injury arising from high-responsibility environments, including veterans, first responders, and medical professionals. Many appear highly functional outwardly while privately struggling with anxiety, exhaustion, disrupted sleep, or feeling disconnected from themselves, others, or the lives they once recognized.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Huntsville, AL
Finding OCD therapists in Huntsville starts with looking for care that matches how obsessive-compulsive disorder shows up for you. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination concerns, compulsive rituals, rumination, or related anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that list OCD experience, ERP, or related training so you can better understand whether their background fits your needs.
Huntsville has a range of behavioral health options, but the right match also depends on format, schedule, and clinical focus. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices, while in-person care may work better if you prefer a set location and routine. For OCD care, it helps to distinguish between therapists who mention OCD generally and therapists who describe specific ERP training or structured OCD care. Read each therapist’s profile for details on their approach, appointment availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
Therapy in Huntsville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see your estimated cost before you book. You can compare therapists, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
