Therapists in Raleigh, NC

Relationships require work. You may be working hard, but if that work is destructive -- such as excessive conflict, worry, negativity, blaming or guilt, these actions and thoughts are breaking down, not building, healthy relationships. I concentrate on developing and sustaining positive motivation and behavior. In therapy with me, couples and individuals can expect thoughtful, knowledgeable support and direct guidance to make your work constructive. I will lend strength when needed, and, will just as quickly 'call you' on counterproductive behavior. This is a dynamic process.

If you’re here, you may be looking for someone who can support you and your family with warmth, authenticity, and unconditional acceptance. I value hearing people’s life stories and understanding the full context of their lives as part of the healing process. I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan, including community college students, and I particularly enjoy working with pregnancy/postpartum issues and parenting stress. I aim to provide compassionate and evidence-based care for life transitions, grief and pregnancy loss, pregnancy complications/NICU, infertility, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

I believe when given the proper tools, insight and support, most of us can heal ourselves and thrive in our lives. Whether it’s navigating the teen years, college, parenting or marriage, I can help guide you through challenging times. I am committed to creating a positive, warm therapeutic experience while teaching you skills that empower you to feel more in control, balanced and successful in your life. I promote knowledge and awareness of feelings and behaviors, while increasing positive coping skills and self-esteem.

In my part time private practice I offer counseling/therapy to adults, children, adolescents, and parents. My areas of special interest include anxiety, depression, and parent education. I enjoy working with adults who are dealing with life challenges, loss, and seeking personal growth. When seeing children or adolescents, I typically use a child centered approach with the opportunity for play therapy. I also have experience with CBT, EFT, and mindfulness. These techniques are helpful in treating individuals who are experiencing anxiety, regulation of attention and impulse control, and trauma.

Do you worry that your child's behaviors may be getting out of control? Are you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed or exhausted? Would you like for your child to listen to you? We'd like to help! Being a parent is one of life's most complicated and challenging jobs, but it can also be one of the most amazing and rewarding experiences. We'd like to help you and your child work through the challenges and build a strong foundation for a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

My approach to therapy is client-centered: clients are the experts on their lives and determine the direction and depth of therapy. Through a strengths-based and solutions-focused lens, I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals.

Are you a mother (of kids or adults) who is feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Maybe you are a parent of a child with ADHD, anxiety, autism, or other challenges. You might have similar challenges yourself or other stressors contributing to things feeling so hard. You might be doing your best with a prickly teenager or an adult child, but you are feeling overworked and underappreciated. You may be feeling lost because you have an empty nest or misunderstood as a grandmother or mother-in-law. Maybe you are exhausted from conflicts within the family, taking care of everyone else, even a parent, or grieving the loss of a parent.

As of 2/9/24 I am currently accepting children 6+, teen and adult clients via telehealth. Staying true to ourselves may be one of the hardest but most important tasks we encounter as we mature into adults. Family, social needs, achievements, anxiety, depression, and many other factors often get in the way of our ability to express ourselves in our fullest capacity. During our time in counseling, you will get to know your truest self, and practice expressing yourself authentically with curiosity and mindfulness.

Childhood is a rollercoaster of experiences. Navigating these ups and downs can leave children worried, sad, withdrawn, or struggling with behaviors. As a parent or caregiver it can be difficult knowing what to say or how to help. I love partnering with children and their families to create a safe space to process some of the most difficult times of their lives.

I have worked in the therapy and counseling profession for over 30 years and I have supported individuals from every sphere of life. I know the hurts and pains of life experiences and the feelings of loneliness and disappointments that come along with them. I have interfaced with adolescents who rebelled against authority, divorce and separation issues, single parenting, depression, and anxiety just to name a few. Now presently, during these times of uncertainty, many are experiencing loss of wages loss of loved ones, and isolation issues. Many who are in these circumstances feel hopeless, overwhelmed, and alone but they are not.

Are you tired of pleasing others? Are you tired of overeating, making unnecessary purchases or drinking to numb the pain? I am here to tell you that you are not alone. I love helping people become happy and healthy and would love to be on your support team. Together we can work on creating a fulfilling and enjoyable life. I focus on the therapist-client relationship, and I tailor my approach to accommodate your needs. Together we will develop effective tools and skills for achieving your therapeutic goals. I promise to maintain an accepting and nurturing environment for you to build a life worth living.
