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 that secure and safe connection is an agent of healing. We are all created with deep needs and desires for connection, intimacy, vulnerability, and safety. When any of those essential components of the human experience are broken or entangled with trauma, it can cause dysfunction in our systems and remove health and thriving from our lives. However, it is possible to redeem, restore, and recapture our minds, hearts, and bodies and reclaim health. When clients are able to process their hardest hurts and wounds within the safety of the therapeutic relationship, healing can happen!

I help couples & partners, families, and teen & adult individuals across NC & VA with: regular or existential anxiety, depression, identity (re)discovery, sexual problems & intimacy, perfectionism & people-pleasing, infidelity, grief & loss, attachment trauma, chronic & terminal illness, and just navigating the crap life throws at us.
I specialize in relationships, especially among marginalized folx (LGBTQ+, people of color, ADHD & autism). Maybe you're high-achieving and kinda quirky, but you intellectualize rather than connect with your partner(s), your loved ones, or yourself in the way you want. Despite your best efforts, you keep getting caught in the same stress over work-life balance, extended family, or sex. Regardless of your background or relationship structure, therapy with me looks like having a "translator" to identify stuck patterns, unpack what lurks underneath, and build deep, lasting connection.

Are you struggling in your relationship? Feeling like things just aren't clicking the way they used to? It's tough when you're holding on by a thread, trying to meet everyone's needs while feeling like yours are being overlooked. Maybe you're wondering if it's normal to feel this way, or if there's something more you could be doing. You're not alone. Many couples find themselves in this situation, where it seems like no matter how hard they try, they can't seem to communicate effectively or meet each other's needs. But there is hope.

Infidelity Therapists
How does therapy for infidelity work?
A skilled infidelity therapist will provide a safe space for clients to communicate their feelings and concerns. The goal is to be completely honest about what led to the cheating and how it has affected the entire family to prevent it from recurring in the future. The therapist will help the clients work on rebuilding mutual trust and respect and developing better communication and conflict-resolution skills. If the goal is to remain a couple, clients will learn the “danger signs” for their specific relationship, and they will make a renewed commitment to be faithful.
How long does therapy for infidelity take?
Recovery from infidelity can take time, and it can vary from person to person. Generally, a therapist will want to see the clients at least once a week for around six months. Then the sessions can be arranged as needed, depending on the clients’ individual needs. While therapy may end or shift to an as-needed basis, it can take up to two years or more for some clients to fully recover from infidelity.
How does therapy help the partner who was cheated on?
When a client discovers their partner’s infidelity, their trust in the relationship and in the life they had together may be shattered. They often experience mental health symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They don’t always want to stay in the relationship; they may feel ambivalent or may even want to leave. Therapy gives these clients a safe and healthy way to communicate all of their complicated emotions and concerns.
How does therapy help the partner who committed infidelity?
Infidelity often occurs when one or both partners’ emotional needs are not being met in the relationship. Therapy can help this client understand why they cheated and figure out how to address those unmet needs without resorting to infidelity in the future. This can lessen (but not entirely eliminate) the risk of repeated infidelity. Clients who cheat may also feel intense guilt about deceiving their partners, a sentiment that they can work through in therapy.
