I am a Licensed Professional Counselor offering virtual therapy in Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision and specialize in working with individuals navigating the impact of childhood maltreatment and trauma, including sexual abuse. I also support women living with autoimmune diseases who are managing the emotional and psychological toll of chronic illness.
I’m glad that we’ve found each other. My name is Arianne and I've been partnering with individuals navigating the challenges and working towards the life each person hopes for themselves. When life feels like it is too much to handle, you might know what you need to do, but actually starting can feel scary. It's hard to move forward when you're stuck in negative thoughts. You understand your struggles and story better than anyone else and I am here to work alongside you to restore your calm.
I'm a licensed professional counselor with a Master's degree in Art Therapy and Family Therapy and over 15 years experience in the field. I specialize in working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, and postpartum issues. My approach incorporates training in Structural Family Therapy, Attachment Theory, EMDR, Parts Work, and Reiki, blending evidence-based practices with holistic care to support your healing journey.
My personal journey was not one I would choose. My first husband was diagnosed with cancer in September 2004 and died in February 2006. The experience of spousal caregiving and young widowhood, and 10 years as a federal Special Agent eventually led me to change careers to become a counselor.
I love helping individuals and couples build meaning, self-acceptance, and self-worth despite grief, trauma, shame, and problematic behavior and relationship patterns.
As a highly curious person, I've always wanted to understand people and how they make decisions. I feel as though the journey towards becoming a therapist was a natural consequence of these traits. Even after 10+ years in the field, I am interested in continuing to learn and embrace people of all backgrounds and use the stories my clients tell me to help guide them to an improved lifestyle.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Norfolk, VA
Searching for postpartum therapists in Norfolk starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum support, or related specialties. A certification like PMH-C can also signal focused training in care during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
In Norfolk, the right fit may depend on more than specialty. Consider whether in-person therapy in Norfolk, VA fits your schedule, or whether virtual sessions make care easier to access during infant care, physical recovery, or changing routines. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum support in Virginia before you book.
Therapy in Norfolk can be a significant investment without insurance, which makes in-network coverage an important part of the search. Using insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can compare postpartum therapists in Norfolk, review detailed profiles, confirm insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
