I'm a board-certified psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience in both general psychiatry and addiction medicine. My background spans a wide range of mental health conditions — from anxiety and depression to bipolar disorder and substance use — and I bring a deeply holistic perspective to every patient I work with. I offer telehealth care with flexible scheduling, including early morning appointments starting at 7:30am for those who need care before their workday begins.
I am a compassionate, collaborative therapist who values the whole person. I work from a strengths-based perspective and believe that people have the capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change when provided with a safe and supportive environment. I honor each client’s lived experiences, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. My role is to meet you where you are, help you explore what’s important to you, and support you in developing the tools and insight you need for lasting change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Alexandria, VA
Searching for therapists in Alexandria starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Many therapists list specialties such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare Alexandria therapists, look for training, therapy style, and listed focus areas that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Alexandria, local office options may be more limited than in nearby larger markets, so virtual therapy can help broaden your search. You may prefer an in-person therapist near Old Town, Del Ray, or another Alexandria neighborhood, or you may want virtual sessions that fit more easily into your schedule. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, session structure, and communication style.
Therapy in Alexandria can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get clearer pricing before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can enter your insurance details, see your estimated out-of-pocket cost, review therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
