I am not a one-size-fits-all therapist. I draw from several evidence-based approaches and use what actually fits the person sitting across from me.
Most of my work is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a model that helps people understand the different emotional patterns and protective responses that show up in daily life. That critical inner voice. The part that shuts down under stress. The anxious response that fears rejection. These patterns make sense when you understand where they came from. And once you do, things start to shift.

Have you ever gotten so good at holding it all together that no one realizes you're running on empty? Do you spend more energy being who everyone else needs than who you are? If this sounds like you, you're in the right place. My clients are often realizing that "having it all together" was never really living — just surviving. They may rely on ways of coping that offer relief but leave them feeling guilty or stuck. They may be LGBTQ+ or questioning their identity. They find old wounds still shape how safe, trusting, or present they feel. They come to therapy knowing something has to change, but may be worried about where to begin.

Accepting Clients for Waiting List: Is your dream of living happily ever after with your spouse becoming a frustrating nightmare? Does your conflict with your spouse devolve into criticism of each other? Do you feel like you are constantly defending yourself and developing feelings of contempt for your spouse?

If so, I hear you, and I have been there.

Whether you are feeling stuck or disconnected - from yourself, your relationships, or your sense of purpose. You may be carrying so much that if feels impossible. What you may feel you need most is clarity, relief, and a sense of peace - a space where you can be fully yourself without judgement, and where you can make sense of your past and feel empowered to shape the future. You may be ready, or at least willing, to explore your inner world with the hope of finding healing, building healthier connections, and reclaiming a sense of wholeness. More than anything, you wish to feel safe, supported, and not alone in your journey.

Hi there! I am the therapist behind KD Therapy. I value people, I value relationships, and I believe none of us can do this alone. I spent years working with domestic violence survivors in rural North Carolina and active-duty service members during and after the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns. I have also worked with patients who have experienced and survived cardiac events. Through all of it, one thing became clear to me: suffering is suffering. The circumstances may look different, but the human experience beneath is the same, and the way people cope with it deserves compassion, not judgment.

Stress and traumatic experiences can affect many areas of life, including the way we behave, think, and learn. Each client has strengths within them that simply need to be accessed. I believe all clients have the ability to meet their goals and work through difficult or traumatic experiences with the help of a caring professional who provides a safe and trusting environment.

Therapy is typically viewed as something that is challenging and scary. However, I want to help clients see that therapy doesn't have to be challenging and scary yet, it's something that everyone can benefit from. In life we all can face obstacles, some small while others can be life changing. Life changing enough that it can effect how we perceive, people, places, things, and even how we perceive the world. When we get to this point many of us don't know how to cope with the struggles life brings. It is important for us to find peace within ourselves by learning who we are, how things affect us and understanding what we need.

Are you and your partner stuck in repeating arguments, feeling like you’re talking but not really being heard? Most couples start with “We just want to communicate better.” Women often describe the exhaustion of not feeling truly listened to, while men say they want to understand their wives more clearly and stop the slow drift when connection fades.
Left unaddressed, these breakdowns create distance in the relationship and can quietly erode personal identity, especially for men facing transitions, responsibilities, past trauma, or military service.
I welcome all couples in New Bern, NC, any partnership ready to rebuild closeness.

Resiliency is a word that gets thrown around a lot. But what does it really mean? For most of us it is about recovering quickly from adversity and learning new skills to keep moving forward. Resiliency is the key to better social, physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is also the result of positive relationships; optimistic realism; self-compassion; healthy coping skills; emotional intelligence; and finding meaning and purpose in life. Therapy is one tool for building resiliency and getting you to where you want to be.
