Do you feel overwhelmed by life’s demands—perhaps you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, feeling stuck, unsure of how to move forward, or struggling with a sense of self. Are you working with relationship difficulties, work-life balance, or simply not feeling like you’re fulfilling your full potential? Many of us feel like we’re just going through the motions, without ever feeling "at peace" or "present."

Now offering EMDR. Relationships are vital to our well-being. As social creatures, human beings need connection to thrive. This is what makes relational work so important to me. Whether repairing a connection that is broken or improving communication to create understanding, a trained Couples counselor can help to provide the tools for success. A little about me-I have over 20 years experience in the medical field in which I gained experience in dealing with life transitions, grief, loss and other life changes, good and bad. I bring this perspective into my approach. I offer a space that is judgment- free and supportive.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like your emotions are running the show, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I work with adults who are navigating stress, difficult experiences, and emotions that can make everyday life feel heavier than it should. You might feel like you should be coping better, but something keeps getting in the way. Therapy is a space where we slow things down, make sense of patterns, and build practical skills that actually work in real life.

Accepting new clients. Life can feel overwhelming—whether you’re finishing college, finding your footing in adulthood, or facing the realization that things aren’t unfolding the way you hoped. Maybe work feels draining, relationships are unraveling, or you’ve found yourself relying on alcohol, food, substances, or self-harm to cope. Others shut down through depression or constant anxiety. When these strategies stop helping, support matters. Reaching out is a meaningful first step, and choosing to care for your mental health takes real courage.

GA Ambetter individuals: I am only credentialed with Ambetter NC.
Doing this type of work, therapy, is truly an honor and privilege. I recognize the deep responsibility of holding space where you can safely explore your most vulnerable moments. My approach is strengths-based and non-judgmental, creating a collaborative environment where we can navigate life’s challenges together. As Ram Dass beautifully put it, “We are all just walking each other home.” I walk alongside my clients with empathy, support, and at times, a gentle nudge to help you move toward the life you want to lead.

As therapist I am committed to address life's challenges of transition and transformation, to enrich each client's ability to think creatively and responsibly about one's own life, and to support the client's vision for change. My goal: to assist the process of self-awareness and clarity; to rename and reconfigure what is significant; and to facilitate the process of creating new solutions of meaning. I perceive life as improvisatory art, more than a linear goal, and I seek to facilitate the client's integration of diverse emotions and experiences into a radiant whole.

My therapy practice focuses on the balance and confluence of different aspects of identity and the external environment. Through integrations of cognitive behavioral models, DBT, and narrative therapies, we work together to achieve this balance. Some of my most deeply held value systems center around social justice and equity, and I bring this into each session with my clients.

As a neurdivergent therapist with ADHD, I understand feeling a little different—creative, scattered, sensitive, or like you don’t quite fit into the usual boxes. I want to help you to feel more grounded, to understand yourself better, & to move through life with more ease and confidence. In therapy, we’ll work together to make sense of what’s been overwhelming you, reconnect with your strengths, & create space for balance, meaning, and self-acceptance in your daily life. In our sessions, you can expect warmth, curiosity, and collaboration. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine conversation.

You've built a life that looks great on the outside, but inside, is it a different story? Do you feel the impact of old wounds that never fully healed? Do they show up as distance in your relationships, irritability or just an ache that you can't quite name? Have you been told you're “too closed off” or “hard to read”, but the fact is you keep your guard up because letting it down never felt safe? You're not looking for a pep talk or a set of quick tips. You want something real—a chance to dig beneath the surface, to understand why you react the way you do, and to choose connection over protection.
