About
I have endured many hardships that have equipped me to show compassion for my clients and to empower them to overcome life’s challenges. I have also learned that barriers are just in our minds, and they can keep us from moving from a victim mentality to an overcomer mentality.
I am an LPC with over 4 years of experience and 10 years of experience in nursing. I have a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. Through counseling and nursing, I have cared for people with mental health issues, including PTSD, addictions, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and palliative and hospice care. I have lived in many European and Middle Eastern countries, which means I have interacted with a wide variety of cultures and ethnicities. As a result, I understand that everyone has varying beliefs and values and appreciate that uniqueness.
I am the wife of an Army veteran, and everyone in my family has served in the military. As a result, I am skilled at handling stressful situations, especially trauma and PTSD. I am certified in EMDR therapy. My personal experiences, combined with my professional trauma training, enable me to provide the support that my clients need.
Tough times are usually only here for a season, but you can overcome these difficulties because you have an ally in me. We can work together, at your own pace, to manage your concerns and find solutions that align with your goals. I look forward to collaborating with you as you take this significant step toward growth and healing.

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.
In OCD counseling, Thriveworks Alexandria therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.
Thriveworks OCD counseling in Alexandria, VA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
