As one who was born and raised in the Caribbean, I understand the stigma, myth, and taboo associated with mental health, which led me to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 12 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in diagnosing and treating mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related conditions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment that promotes healing, emotional growth, and overall well-being for each client I serve.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing, Leadership, and Management from Walden University. My clinical approach combines medication management, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness-based interventions to help clients build resilience and restore balance in their daily lives. I strive to empower each person through education and collaboration.
I welcome individuals ready to take the next step toward improved mental health. Whether you’re seeking clarity, stability, or emotional peace, I’m here to listen and guide you through the process. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change and create a plan that supports long-term wellness and self-confidence.

By drawing on my unique experiences as a military dependent spouse, a military healthcare provider, and the global perspective shaped by travels and Caribbean upbringing, I am here to help you navigate your mental health needs so you don’t have to suffer in silence.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 10 years of experience providing comprehensive mental health care. I specialize in supporting women across the lifespan, with a focus on mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I also have extensive experience working with military service members, veterans, and their families, and I understand the unique challenges they face when seeking mental health support.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Frontier Nursing University. My approach integrates medical and mental health expertise through evidence-based prescribing and a collaborative, client-centered style. I consider biological, hormonal, social, and cultural factors when developing individualized treatment plans.
I recognize that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a supportive, respectful space where you feel heard and valued. Together, we will work toward greater understanding, healing, and meaningful growth. I invite you to take the next step toward prioritizing your well-being and quality of life.
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 Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach, 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.
