I'm Tiff. I work with individuals who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or identity and life transitions. Many of my clients are veterans adjusting to civilian life, survivors of trauma, or people seeking affirming care around gender identity and self-exploration. What they share is a desire for safety, relief, and a greater sense of ease in their body and relationships.

I understand how heavy it can feel to carry these experiences alone. Therapy can be a space to slow down, feel seen, and begin healing in a way that feels sustainable. Together, we work toward helping you feel more grounded, more connected, and more at home in yourself.

My work centers on women’s wellness, with a focus on supporting women navigating ADHD, ASD, chronic stress, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and life transitions. Through working with a diverse range of clients, I’ve found that many women move through life feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, and stuck in survival mode.

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 a Therapist in Arlington

Finding the right OCD therapist in Arlington, MA starts with understanding the type of care that fits your situation. Many providers on Headway offer structured therapeutic approaches for obsessive-compulsive disorder, including ERP and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and a qualified clinician can help determine what may be appropriate for your needs. If medication management is part of your care plan, psychiatrists on Headway can help with that too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Arlington or virtual appointments — many providers offer both.

OCD care in the Arlington area can be costly without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who specializes in OCD and accepts your coverage.

Once you've identified a few providers, read through their bios to learn about their approach, experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and what to expect in sessions. Many providers on Headway offer a free phone consultation so you can see if it's a good fit before committing to care.
