Hi hi! I’m Kaitlyn, an LCSW in Virginia specializing in grief therapy and anxiety management. I spend my days in a school division providing mental health services to rural kiddos, and then I come home to chase my own kiddos. Providing therapy brings me back to myself, as strange as that sounds. I am fueled by helping others!
I work with adults from all backgrounds and experiences. I will help you achieve your goals, reduce symptoms, and develop the life you envision.
I am a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have a master’s degree in professional counseling and another in crisis and trauma counseling. I also have over 15 years of experience providing counseling and therapeutic support, so I feel confident that we can find success working together.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from Walden University, I am deeply passionate about delivering patient-centered care and committed to advocating for individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. With over eight years of experience working with patients, families, and communities affected by mental illness, I have developed a profound understanding of the importance of compassionate and individualized care.
My professional journey began as a registered nurse, where I came to realize that mental illness is no respecter of person, age, color, or social status. This experience reinforced my belief that every individual facing mental health challenges deserves a patient-centered, personalized, and holistic approach to their care.
As a PMHNP, my goal is to serve as a source of strength and support through active listening, empathy, and compassion. I strive to provide an evidence-based approach tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring that every individual feels heard, valued, and empowered on their path to wellness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arlington
Finding the right OCD therapist in Arlington starts with understanding what type of care fits your situation. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is one therapy approach commonly used for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and many therapists in the Arlington and Northern Virginia area are trained in ERP as well as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). If you're also considering medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can work alongside a therapist to address both sides of care. Knowing whether you want therapy, medication support, or both can help narrow your search.
Arlington's proximity to Washington, D.C., Falls Church, and the broader Northern Virginia corridor means there are many licensed providers nearby — but confirming who actually accepts your insurance and has availability can be time-consuming. Look for a provider whose bio describes specific experience with OCD, not just general anxiety. Reading about their approach and background before booking can help you feel more confident about the fit.
Therapy in the Arlington area can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. You can confirm whether your specific plan is accepted in your area directly on Headway.
