I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with almost 20 years of professional work experience addressing a range of mental health issues across the lifespan. Most of my life was spent in East Tennessee but my career experience began in Virginia where I obtained my counseling license in 2014. In 2020 I moved to Yuma, Arizona, and am eligible to work with clients in both states.

Education and Credentials:

I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology in 2003 from Radford University in Radford, Virginia. I soon followed it with my Master's degree in Counseling in 2007 at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee. In 2021 I received my School Counseling Certificate from the state of Arizona.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arlington

Finding the right therapist in Arlington, VA starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Arlington is home to therapists trained in a range of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and couples therapy — so you have options to find someone whose style fits how you prefer to work.

Beyond specialty and approach, practical details matter too. Consider whether you want to meet in person at an office near Ballston, Clarendon, or Crystal City, or whether virtual sessions fit your schedule better. Look at a provider's availability, read their bio to understand how they work, and take advantage of free phone consultations when they're offered. These steps can help you feel more confident before your first session.

Therapy in the D.C. metro area can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. 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 therapist in Arlington who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
