Feeling stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety, or disconnected from yourself? I help adults heal from trauma, rebuild trust in themselves, and create more fulfilling relationships. Many of my clients come to therapy after experiencing trauma, betrayal, difficult relationships, major life transitions, or a growing sense that they no longer recognize themselves. They are often tired of repeating patterns they can't seem to break. Together, we'll create a space where you can better understand what's happening beneath the surface and move toward greater clarity, confidence, and connection.

Most have been taught to monitor behavior, but few have mastered monitoring their heart. I am passionate about helping clients gain understanding and instill hope for change. By starting where the client is at, I aim to facilitate change as it relates to the mind, body, & soul. Creating a safe environment for a strong therapeutic alliance, each client is treated wholistically to discover one's true potential for conflict resolution. Building on individual client's strengths, the C.O.R.E. issue to the presenting problem is revealed.

Life is a journey that can often become difficult to maneuver. However, facing life's struggles can empower us to be the people we are intended to be. This process is often mentally and physically exhausting. I would be honored to walk alongside you, your child, and/or your family on your personal journey of self-discovery. I love children and specialize in non-directive play therapy with children 3-7 years of age. Additionally, I work with adolescents and teens navigating the often difficult times of transition through middle/high school. Finally, I have a heart to work with women in life transitions.

I believe real change happens when you understand what’s going on inside you and have the tools to work with it, not against it. Many people seek out neurofeedback because they’re overwhelmed, not sleeping well, struggling to focus, or trying to get clarity on what’s next. Others feel “mostly fine” but still stuck in patterns that drain energy. Wherever you’re starting, my role is to help you understand what’s happening inside your mind and give you tools that make life feel more manageable. Whether you’re navigating a transition, managing stress, breaking old patterns, or seeking growth, you don’t have to do it alone.

Life is full of what ifs … what if I wasn’t abused in childhood, what if my relationship was healthier, what if my family dynamics were better. What if it didn’t feel like peace was just out of reach or like things will never be better than they are right now.

I am a licensed psychologist in North Carolina providing psychotherapy and assessment services. I work with adults across different stages of life, offering support during times of stress, change, and emotional overwhelm. I have a particular interest in women’s mental health, including working with women who are pregnant, postpartum, adjusting to the demands of having a baby, or navigating perimenopause and menopause. These transitions can bring emotional shifts, fatigue, self-doubt, and a feeling of not quite being yourself.

The clients who find their way to me are often at a crossroads — navigating relationship challenges, infidelity, separation or divorce, career transitions, mid-life questions, or the emotional impact of money. Some are preparing for marriage and want to build a strong foundation for their future together.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
