Are you feeling overwhelmed in the place you find yourself? Does life often feel out of control? Have you worked hard to keep it together so that it looks good on the outside, but on the inside, your gut is telling you otherwise? Or, maybe you're not even sure why you feel the way you do. You are not alone! Trying to "do it all" can certainly take a toll. You likely desire to better understand yourself and your relationships in this current season. Coming alongside you, meeting you where you are, and collaborating with you as you clarify what it is that you want for yourself is the approach I'll take.

Early adulthood is hard. Changes are constant and you have so many questions about who you are and what you want in life. You're not sure what is 'normal' and you're exhausted by the intensity of your emotions. The pressure to have it all figured out can feel overwhelming. You’re hoping to find someone who can listen without the fear of judgement. Who can offer support and help you get answers. You’re wanting the thoughts that tell you “you’re not good enough” to stop. Whether this is a new pain or a chronic one, you do not have to settle for it.

Relationships are at the heart of our emotional well-being and often, our deepest pain. Anxiety, depression, shame, and trauma-related symptoms often stem from past or present relationship experiences. You may be in an unhealthy or unfulfilling relationship, have experienced relationship betrayal, or struggling with the effects of early childhood trauma or neglect. Whatever the source of your emotional pain, I believe healing and growth are possible. I offer a safe, supportive space where we can work together to heal emotional pain and build more fulfilling relationships — with yourself and with others.

I am a psychologist focused on the deeper determinants of core experiences and of life's challenges—the emotional patterns, relational currents, and further dynamics that shape who we are and how we struggle. The work I facilitate offers a clearer, more enlivening understanding of oneself, achieved through care to emotional, relational, and other difficulties, as well through exploration of personal characteristics, dream images, unrealized capacities, and possibilities for growth beyond a narrow problem focus. Therapy with me is an attentive, collaborative process aimed not only at symptom relief, but toward real, lasting change.

You’re good at holding it together — for work, family, and everyone else — but it’s starting to feel exhausting. Maybe the anxiety, emotional shutdown, or relationship stress has felt “normal” for so long that you didn’t realize how unsustainable it was. Many of my clients struggle with overthinking, self-criticism, and carrying more than their share emotionally. I am licensed in NC, VA, DC and SC.

You smile and say, "I'm fine," but inside, it's like screaming underwater—loud, and unheard. You tell yourself you'll be okay, but believing it is hard. Admitting you're struggling is hard.

No pretending. Just a space to build YOUR version of happy. Reach out — you deserve to be seen & I am here to help you take up space!

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.
