MedCost Therapists in Fort Bragg, NC
I have spent more than thirty years showing up for people in their hardest moments as a hospital chaplain, an Army nurse, and now as a licensed mental health counselor. What has stayed constant across all three is a single conviction: genuine life change is possible, but it requires more than time. It requires courage, honesty, and the willingness to be known. I work with children, adults, and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity struggles, communication, life transitions, and the persistent sense that something important is missing from their lives.

My goal is to help you reach YOUR goals.

I support all beliefs and will gladly incorporate yours into sessions if that is your wish. Each appointment is truly for YOU!

Why Therapy:
1) because overthinking everything until 2am is exhausting,
2) because you deserve more than recycled internet advice, “healing era” content, and dusty-crusty motivational quotes,
3) because consuming endless self-help podcasts is not the same thing as actually healing,
4) because your family’s group chat, TikTok algorithm, and ChatGPT are not licensed therapists.
But we are.

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, it’s never enough? You’ve learned to be who others need—saying yes when you’re exhausted, chasing impossible standards, feeling anxious, disconnected from yourself, and weighed down inside. People-pleasing, perfectionism, depression, and anxiety often begin as ways to stay safe, connected, and in control. What if these patterns that feel like limitations are actually survival strategies shaped by what you’ve experienced in life? They felt necessary before, but now you notice they are keeping you stuck or causing you distress. Done with feeling stuck?
