Therapists in Raleigh, NC

Welcome! I know many only seek therapy once things feel unmanageable or hopeless and I’d love to help you find relief and gain some clarity in your life. My goal with each session is to provide a safe, warm, non-judgmental, honest, & often humorous, space to explore how you’re feeling & thinking. I have extensive experience working with major life transitions such as breakups, moves, career changes, graduations, & the anxiety, depression & grief that often co-occur. My passion is helping process interpersonal relationship issues, & helping develop language to what's occurring in your life, relationships & learning to set boundaries.

I often work with patients to examine longstanding difficulties, both with others and within their own selves. Such patterns often leave people feeling misunderstood, empty, lost, unheard, unseen, taken advantage of, stuck, angry, or resentful. Feeling this way can leave you feeling disconnected from and distrusting of others; even those who you love and want to feel close to. Many times, these pieces can be extremely difficult and even can feel impossible to share. And that's okay. We will work together to address what feels important to you and at your pace.

The pressure changes us into different people. How do we get past reacting to life and get on to living life intentionally? The answer is not easy, because there are many factors that fracture our attention, steal our resources, and prevent progress.

Note: (I am currently offering a weekly Mental Health Wellness virtual therapy group. Contact for more info!)

The process of working with a new client is to gather pertinent information about the client's psychosocial, environment, and past family history to help accurately diagnose the client. Once a diagnosis is made then a treatment plan would be developed conjointly between the client and me utilizing S.M.A.R.T. goals. S.M.A.R.T. goals are​ specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-based goals that would help the client be successful in treatment.

When I was a defiant and moody adolescent, my parents sought therapy for me. The therapy room was place in which I felt understood. I was able to learn great insight into how I think and understanding others' perspectives.

I try to establish a therapeutic relationship that enables each person to make progress with their goals, whether it be their self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, managing challenging emotions, or getting through an especially challenging life event.
