About
With over 15 years of experience in the field of psychiatry, I bring an evidence-based approach to care to assist individuals challenged by mental health issues.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 15 years of experience. I have supported individuals facing depression, anxiety, bipolar spectrum disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorder, dementia-related conditions, and substance use challenges. I provide virtual care and bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to every session, ensuring that those I work with feel supported, valued, and empowered.
I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Hunter College. My clinical approach includes psychotropic medication management along with adjunctive therapies. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, supportive therapy, and trauma- and emotion-focused interventions to best meet each client’s needs. .
My clients can expect me to be a knowledgeable and attentive listener who is warm, understanding, and supportive. I strive to create a safe and collaborative space where we can work together to achieve lasting emotional growth and stability.

I bring authenticity, humor, and the perspective of lived trauma experience into therapy to create a space where you will feel genuinely understood, safe, and empowered to heal.
Hi there, I'm Isabella, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of NC, CT, and DC. I'm passionate about supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders while helping them process the past, strengthen resilience, and move toward a more grounded future. My approach is warm, authentic, and collaborative, creating space for clients to embrace life's challenges while also finding greater peace and balance. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life to improve emotional well-being, build healthier relationships, and feel more confident navigating everyday stressors.
I am trained in trauma-focused CBT with certification in somatic interventions, as well as CBT and DBT approaches. I can help you better understand patterns in your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and nervous system responses while building practical tools to manage distress, improve relationships, and increase self-confidence.
Healing can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. Whether you're feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed, I aim to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. Therapy is not about having it all figured out—it's about giving yourself the chance to heal, grow, and move forward with greater confidence and self-compassion.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

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 Chapel Hill 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 Chapel Hill, NC 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
