Clients should know that I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where they can openly discuss their concerns. I understand that seeking mental health treatment can be difficult, and I strive to build trusting relationships through empathy, respect, and active listening.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe in treating the whole person rather than just symptoms. I work collaboratively with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that align with their goals, values, and lifestyle. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with education, supportive therapy, and practical coping strategies to promote lasting wellness.

Clients can expect me to be compassionate, approachable, and dedicated to helping them navigate life's challenges while empowering them to take an active role in their mental health journey.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Charlottesville

Finding the right postpartum therapist in Charlottesville starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Perinatal mental health covers a range of conditions — from postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety to less commonly discussed experiences like perinatal mood disorders and pregnancy-related emotional changes. A licensed provider who specializes in maternal mental health can help you understand what you're experiencing and work with you on a plan that fits your situation.

Charlottesville is home to providers with training in perinatal mental health care, including therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists. When evaluating a provider, consider their experience with postpartum-specific concerns, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and how their approach aligns with your preferences. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a clearer picture of their style and areas of focus.

Therapy in Charlottesville can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to look for a postpartum provider who may be a good clinical fit. Enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Charlottesville.
