You may be holding a lot—old pain, self-doubt, the sense that no one has ever truly gotten your world. I work with people experiencing difficult emotions, compulsive distraction behavior, and relational disturbances. My approach is parts-informed, somatic, and deeply respectful of defenses as intelligent adaptations. We work collaboratively to build self-nurturing, self-trust, and self-connection from the inside out. If you’ve learned to disconnect, over-function, or question your value, you’re not alone. My approach blends deep attunement with transformational methods. You can learn to trust again and choose new ways of being.

I specialize in supporting individuals, families, or couples at each stage of life: families and teens preparing for college; adults contemplating career change; couples planning to marry or experiencing relationship difficulties; and women and men adjusting to aging, retirement, or conflicts with adult children. For 20 years, I worked as a clinical social worker and then completed my Ph.D. in psychology at mid-life. Originally from Nebraska and Colorado, I have lived in Indiana, Oregon, LA and now in Raleigh for 30 years. I've helped people from all walks of life, including diverse ethnic, racial and spiritual backgrounds.

On the outside it looks like you have it all together, but inside you're engaged in a constant struggle for control. Your anxiety, OCD, and/or eating disorder has taken over your life. You find yourself in a constant loop of feeling worried, nervous, stressed and at times not good enough, thin enough, or smart enough. You’re stuck and unable to find the relief that you crave, so you try temporary fixes. Sometimes you disconnect and avoid people and your responsibilities, sometimes you binge, sometimes you purge, and sometimes you try to use anything that will distract your mind. You find, however, that your mind just wont turn off.

I practice with the belief that that therapy can be a rich and vital exploration into understanding the deepest parts of our selves: the parts we like and the parts we wish to change. We all have unconscious patterns that can get in the way of living the life we want. These patterns can manifest as anxiety, depression, phobias, physical illness or pain, addiction and even rage. These symptoms can affect relationships, work, self esteem, creativity and sexuality. Change is possible when these patterns can be expressed and understood in an open and accepting space.

Hello! I strive to create a warm and accepting atmosphere for kids and teens to grow. I began providing animal-assisted therapy in 2020 and found it added an extra layer of comfort, humor, and playfulness that enhances the sometimes challenging work of therapy. My hope is to make therapy fun and enlightening. Children and teens have many stressors that include rigorous school testing, challenging social dynamics, and perfectionism. This can lead to negative self-talk and self-doubt.

Many of us grew up with the idea that sex and gender identity are topics best kept quiet, creating silence and stigma around these issues. This often leaves people feeling alone or unsure of where to turn when they face challenges. That’s where sex therapy can make a difference. Imagine a space where you can openly talk about anything, including sexual health, relationships, intimacy, or gender identity, without fear of judgment. At Carolina Sexual Wellness Center, you’ll find a supportive environment designed to help you explore these important topics, gain valuable insights, and work towards a more fulfilling, connected life.

I count it a privilege to walk alongside clients through the current chapter in their lives.

Most of us need help, at one time or another in our lives, and asking for help is not always easy. However, it is important to realize our own limitations and allow yourself to feel better. Mental health is a vital part of overall well-being, and its impact on our life should not be underestimated.

Accepting New Clients – There are many challenges in life, sometimes those challenges can be overwhelming and frighting to think about and handle alone. We all live through different experiences have different perspectives on how their life should be, we lose focus of who we are, and what we are trying to accomplish in our daily lives. I look at my job to help sort through those challenges, be part of a support system and help define and drive success for you.

It is my belief that people, at their core, are strong and capable of remarkable resilience. My hope is to create a safe space in which clients, whether new to therapy or returning, can explore challenging thoughts and emotions, process major life changes, work through relationship/family challenges, and learn skills to make taking on life's curveballs seem a bit easier. Much of my clinical experience has been with adolescents, young adults, women, and families, addressing a variety of presenting issues, including life transitions, interpersonal communication and boundary setting, identifying and coping with emotions, & self-esteem.
