I provide evidence-based mental health care, including medication management, lifestyle modifications, and other therapeutic approaches.
My passion for mental health care was sparked when I volunteered at a crisis hotline. I later earned a master's degree in nursing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Since then, I have gained valuable experience in community and hospital settings.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR-certified therapist, dedicated to providing a warm, empowering space for healing. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, I specialize in helping individuals reprocess trauma, build skills to manage emotional dysregulation, and develop a more positive mindset. My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, guiding you toward resilience and lasting change. Whether you're facing PTSD, anxiety, or life transitions, I am here to support your journey to well-being.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.
I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.
I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.
I have extensive experience working with complex trauma, attachment issues, family, and spiritually and religiously-based trauma.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Norfolk, VA
Finding OCD therapists in Norfolk starts with looking for care that matches the way obsessive-compulsive disorder is typically supported. Many people search for help with intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination concerns, or repetitive rituals. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one approach some therapists use to support people with OCD, and not all therapists have training in it. As you compare options, look for an OCD therapist in Norfolk, VA who lists ERP therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD, or obsessive compulsive disorder therapy in their profile.
Norfolk has a mix of local therapy offices and virtual options, which can help you find care that fits your schedule and location. If nearby appointments are limited or your schedule varies, virtual OCD counseling in Norfolk can expand your choices while keeping care accessible from home. When reviewing therapists, look beyond a general OCD specialty. A therapist who lists exposure and response prevention in Norfolk, ERP training, or specific experience with compulsions and intrusive thoughts may be a more relevant fit than someone who lists OCD as one of many areas of familiarity.
OCD treatment in Norfolk can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, confirm whether your plan is accepted, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, making it easier to compare options and choose a therapist for OCD in Norfolk when you’re ready.
