Therapists in Raleigh, NC

Although I have 28 years of experience in mental health working with a wide range of therapeutic issues, I now focus on treating adults who are having problems managing depression, anxiety, phobias, and changes in life. If you're ready, motivated for change and are willing to take action, I can help you on your journey with a traditional or creative therapy model or with metaphysical insights. Let's get started!

Are you dealing with a significant change in your life? Possibly a loss that feels insurmountable? A hurdle that can stir up feelings of powerlessness, loneliness, deep sadness or depression? The power of therapy in these life transitions is invaluable. With twenty years of experience supporting people in the areas of grief, loss, aging, caregiver support, and other significant life transitions, I will provide you with the tools to find your way through life’s emotional storms. Together we will build within you a sense of confidence and peace around these seemingly impossible hurdles.

The unfortunate truth about life is that it really doesn't get easier over time; we just have to get better at living it! As we grow and change, we encounter situations, relationships, and emotions that leave us feeling confused and lost. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can begin to understand the life you have and create the life you want.

The stories of our lives have a tremendous impact on who we are as people, and how we feel. As a narrative-based therapist, it is my privilege to be invited to witness your story and be part of the change that you are seeking. With training in marriage and family therapy comes a unique understanding of how relational experiences, how you grow up, communities, and society as a whole can impact how each person interacts with and understands the world around them. I operate from a neurodivergent affirming and trauma-informed style, and seek to offer a compassionate and understanding atmosphere while inviting you to challenge yourself.

Starting therapy can be an intimidating process. My desire as a counselor is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you are free to be your authentic self and explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Together, we will investigate your wants and needs, the thoughts that trouble you, and the life experiences that have impacted you. I aim to work collaboratively with you to create and achieve goals and find balance in your life.

Life is tough. There are many trials and hardships we experience and sometimes we carry all of that with us until we reach a point where we stop feeling like ourselves or have never truly found the self we wanted to be.

Together, we will work to overcome the obstacles life has put up and work towards healing from areas of the past that have held you for too long.

At Greenwood Therapy I provide collaborative, strengths-based counseling for people dealing with depression, anxiety, and related disorders; trauma and grief; relationship problems; difficult transitions; and career questions. I work with individuals 18 years and older and with couples. My approach varies based on the client's needs, using insights from interpersonal and psychodynamic therapy, narrative and family systems therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based stress management. I have particular experience with issues facing clients in blended families and long-distance relationships; and I understand the challenges of changing direction in midlife, partly because counseling is my second career.

I started my career as an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry, working and leading teams for the International Space Station and a satellite mission. Wanting to work more closely with people, I switched to business strategy consulting, traveling to Fortune 100 companies on a weekly basis for two years. While I got the chance to solve complex problems, I realized I wanted to help people solve the problems that mattered to them at a deeper level. This, coupled with my own recovery journey, is what drives me to do exceptional therapy work today.
