It's easy to feel disconnected from ourselves and our loved ones, leading to stress, anxiety, depression, and strained relationships. You might feel exhausted, trapped by the past or caught up in worries about the future. You're tired of questioning yourself and where you're headed. You're ready to feel at ease and confident in yourself. You want to break free from the past and THRIVE rather than just survive.

Most therapists are good at what they do. They are caring, kind, compassionate, and capable. Most importantly, I hope you find those qualities in the person you are looking for, whether or not I am that person. I believe that what distinguishes me is my 25+ years of experience working with people across the lifespan, from all walks of life, and with many unique and not-so-unique histories, experiences, and concerns that they bring to therapy. My work is about helping people better understand how they got here, where they are at this point in their lives, and where they would like to get to.

My ideal client is someone who is open to the process of change and express a motivation to grow and learn. They may be struggling to cope with a loss, past trauma, or going through current life changes and stressors leaving them looking for support. Therapy is a process, so patience with one's self and the process is key.

You’re someone carrying more than you show—maybe trauma, overwhelm, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Are you experiencing life with a sense that you’ve been surviving instead of truly living? You want relief, clarity, and a way to feel whole again. You’re ready to understand your patterns, heal old wounds, move through relational conflict and feel more grounded in who you are. As you go through this journey, you are looking for a safe space where you can slow down, breathe, and finally move toward the life you’ve been wanting.

Here on the Outer Banks of NC, some of us comb the beach looking for bits of glass, that have been softened by time spent in tumultuous waters. Sea glass started out intact and then by some misfortune or someone's carelessness, ended up adrift and eventually broken at the bottom of the sea. Like sea glass, you, too, are a treasure, waiting to be found. Rather than feeling invisible, unimportant, or damaged, I can assist you in discovering who you really are-your inherent value, beauty and resilience. I have extensive training in the area of trauma treatment.

If you’re here, it’s probably because life feels a little heavier than usual — or maybe you’re just looking for a space to breathe, to process, or to feel heard. Either way, I want you to know you’re already doing something brave by showing up. I created Homestead Healing as a space that feels like home — safe, grounded, and full of compassion.

I meet my clients where they are with empathy, curiosity, and a genuine desire to understand their world.

Hi there! I am the therapist behind KD Therapy. I value people, I value relationships, and I believe none of us can do this alone. I spent years working with domestic violence survivors in rural North Carolina and active-duty service members during and after the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns. I have also worked with patients who have experienced and survived cardiac events. Through all of it, one thing became clear to me: suffering is suffering. The circumstances may look different, but the human experience beneath is the same, and the way people cope with it deserves compassion, not judgment.

I am not a one-size-fits-all therapist. I draw from several evidence-based approaches and use what actually fits the person sitting across from me.
Most of my work is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a model that helps people understand the different emotional patterns and protective responses that show up in daily life. That critical inner voice. The part that shuts down under stress. The anxious response that fears rejection. These patterns make sense when you understand where they came from. And once you do, things start to shift.

Lauralee Fuhrmann LCSW. Approach is client-centered, strengths-based. It can be difficult to open-up and talk about life-stressors to a stranger.

Codependency Therapists
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
