I am a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and I have been treating patients across the lifespan for over 15 years. Once my caseload became full in 2022, I founded a small practice (Tandem Telehealth) where I now oversee a handful of talented psychiatric nurse practitioners and talk therapists. The team approach allows us to provide faster access to care for new patients and a higher level of support than you would likely receive from individuals working independently.
EVENING TELEHEALTH HOURS/FREE CONSULTATION!! As a therapist, connecting with clients and walking with them through their journey of triumphs and challenges, I have found that the connection between counselor and client is paramount. I strive to meet my clients where they are, focusing on their strengths and empowering them to make the changes they see fit rather than prescribing issue or diagnosis. I value treating each individual client with the respect they deserve. Placing emphasis on developing a relationship that is based on warmth, trust, respect, and genuine care. The ease of conversation, is client driven and casual.
Many people seek out therapy because, despite their best efforts to change, they might end up in the same cycles. These cycles of behavior are driven by our life experiences and long-standing behavior patterns. Together, we will explore these patterns so that we can begin to create understanding of our motivations and create space for positive change.
For 16 years I have worked with clients impacted by anxiety, depression, and grief. My experience has provided me a unique perspective in working with individuals and couples, parents and families. I understand the need to get to know a counselor before scheduling a session. To help, I offer a free 15 min phone consultation. Look forward to hearing from you.

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for OCD therapists in Virginia Beach starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, or harm-related obsessions. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, depending on their training and a person’s needs. A qualified healthcare professional can help determine what approach may be appropriate. Since not all therapists have ERP training, review each bio for OCD experience, listed therapy approaches, and details about the kinds of concerns they support.
Virginia Beach has a mix of local therapy offices and virtual options, which can help you compare therapists across the area without limiting your search to one neighborhood or commute. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond whether a therapist lists OCD as a specialty. Check whether they mention ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD, or structured work with obsessions and compulsions. You can also compare appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their communication style before booking.
Therapy in Virginia Beach can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before your first appointment. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, check insurance coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.
