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.
I'm a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs. For the past 8 years, I’ve worked closely with individuals managing chronic pain and substance use disorders, providing integrated support that addresses both physical and mental health needs. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and PTSD with a focus on individuals over 18 years old.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Richmond
Finding OCD therapists in Richmond starts with looking for training that matches obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, or mental rituals. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD, or OCD-specific experience in their bios.
Richmond offers a strong mix of therapy options, but the right match depends on more than location. You may prefer an office near downtown Richmond, the Fan, or surrounding areas like Chesterfield, or you may want the added flexibility of virtual appointments. For OCD care, it helps to compare therapists who list OCD as an area of focus with those who describe specific ERP training or structured OCD care. Review each bio for approach, availability, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Therapy in Richmond can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can search for Richmond therapists who focus on OCD, filter by insurance and appointment format, read bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
