I offer therapy in-person and online Tuesday thru Friday.
You already know yourself very well. And because of this- You are looking for a different kind of therapy space. You are seeking a space in which you can find humor, grace, and wonder while navigating this human experience. One in which your intuition, spirituality, and inner knowing will be honored and used as a tool to transform your lived experience. A space where context matters and is used to create new perspectives and deeper understanding. A space to unpack your stories, unravel your deepest beliefs, and become friends (yes… I said friends) with your inner shadowy parts.

I offer in-person (in my sweet little office ) and online therapy.
Congratulations on starting your search for a therapist! Many thoughtful decisions were likely made to find yourself here. This could be the beginning of real change and the dawn of new potential. If we work together, change will likely be explored right alongside what matters the most to you. Though there is no magic formula to instantly rid you of all the crud (anxiety, emptiness in your relationships, plain old feeling down), there is power in uncovering what you hold dear. Anchoring decisions to your unique value system can make the change that once seemed impossible begin to budge.

I offer online therapy via a secure platform that can be accessed on your smartphone or computer.
You’re experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, burnout (or all of the above). The feeling of being "too much" here but "not enough" there causes an internal spiral of inadequacy, confusion, guilt, and shame, leading to self-doubt and decisions that don't serve you. You're tired of feeling like you have to constantly prove yourself and give twice as much. On top of that, the world is wild! You’ve listened to self-help podcasts, followed inspirational people on social media, and downloaded mindfulness apps, hoping to find solutions, encouragement, and ways to cope. Gah! It's exhausting, and you think, "This can't be it, right?"

I offer in person and online therapy.
You feel stuck. Life often comes with these "stuck points"- perhaps for you, it is from a traumatic event, grief from a recent loss, a relationship ending, or wondering if THIS is all life has to offer… Although we do have to face these inevitable challenges in life, we do not have to do it alone. When these painful experiences arise, we may attempt to cope in ways that perpetuate the pain cycle further, maybe with maladaptive coping, overuse of substances/alcohol or self-sabotaging tendencies. Therapy can lift you up above these cycles, to gain better understanding, compassion, coping skills and help bring you back home to yourself

I offer online therapy for new parents in North Carolina.
New parenthood can leave you feeling stuck in survival mode. You may find yourself struggling with birth trauma, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, or just struggling with adjusting to the ways your life has changed. Maybe you can't get off the hamster wheel of no sleep, poor self-care, frustration, irritability, flashbacks, exhaustion and raw emotions. This can put strain on your relationships with others, your baby and yourself. Or perhaps you do not even recognize the person you are becoming. And it can be hard to ask for help while also learning how to care for a new life.

Online Therapy & Dating Coaching that fits your schedule.
Things are not going the way you want. Maybe you're having the same struggles you've had before. You're stressed, anxious, unhappy. You have many responsibilities, you're frustrated, under so much pressure. But, at the end of the day, you don't have the relationship or life you want. It seems easier for other people. You may be feeling alone or lonely. It eats away at your confidence. In private you might question your self-worth, think you're not good enough. Maybe others think you have it all together, or they rely on you. It is especially confusing if you are successful in other areas. You are used to fixing things on your own.

Online Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
