People seek counseling for a myriad of reasons. Regardless of what has led you to this path, I believe that the insights you gain through counseling can result in an increased understanding of yourself. Counseling is a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and allows you the opportunity to develop and practice new ways of viewing yourself and others. I believe that no one person exists as an isolated individual. The work that occurs in counseling results in changes not only to yourself, but your relationships with others.

What do you do? It’s the first thing we ask when we meet someone and a huge part of how we carve out our sense of self. Burnout and dissatisfaction have major impacts on our relationships, mental wellness and physical health. If your work situation is negatively impacting you, or you find yourself wanting more from your life as a whole, counseling is a great way to explore your path.

In my history I have known times of uncertainty, fear, self doubt, confusion, internal and external turmoil. I'm not afraid to say I have been there. Having someone there with understanding, relatability on a level playing field is where I seperate myself from other therapist. You and I have something in common, we want......need to be different...better. I must admit that I may not have all the exact right answers and don't pretend to, you and I will find them together. My role with you is to help navigate, guide with my life, and educational experiences. I have overcome adversity and believe I can help you do the same

I would consider it a privilege to partner with you in restoring hope. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples through challenges including barriers to healthy communication, affair recovery, pornography and sexual addiction, in addition to other areas of concern.

“Be who you needed when you were younger” was a quote that resonated with me at an early age. As cliché as it may be, that quote is the reason that I embarked on the journey to becoming a therapist. I chose marriage and family because that is the most important system in an individual’s life that shapes how they move in the world. I believe that a person’s environment they grew up in is often linked to many challenges that they face as they journey through life. My goal is to help you collect any missing links to help connect you to the healing that you may be seeking.

Ever felt that you are alone in experiencing mental illness, extreme stress, and daily life challenges? That you aren’t “Normal” as a result of your mental health? In my life, I have learned that every experience is distinct and unique, and that no experience of mental distress, trauma or other hardship is completely the same as another individual’s, but that yet challenges and stress faced by all individuals can be similar and related in one way or another nonetheless. As someone who has faced mental health issues and challenges of my own, I am here to assure you that you are never truly alone in your experiences.

I provide individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults in Raleigh, NC and across the state of North Carolina through telehealth. I use a number of evidence-based treatment methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy to address concerns such as anxiety, OCD, depression, and stress. I know how hard it can be to see your child struggling, and how scary it can feel to put their care in someone else’s hands. As a parent myself, I take the responsibility of working with someone’s child very seriously. It truly takes a village to raise a child and I am honored when parents invite me into that village to support their family.

Experiencing ongoing, underlying anger? Having difficulty concentrating at times? Or problems sleeping? Overly anxious or feeling depressed? Or, is life a bit overwhelming at this time? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, know I understand that living life with these issues saps your joy, making it hard to move forward. As a dance/movement therapist, I use movement to provide a physical dimension to traditional “talk” therapies. Dance therapy allows clients to embody their thoughts and feelings, as well as to practice “walking-through” potential solutions.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS (Couples, Families and Children) Everyone struggles at some point in time in their lives. Acknowledging this to another person can be incredibly difficult yet, freeing. True strength is in recognizing our faults (because we all have them.....yes we do) and working to change them. That is why we say the healthiest people are sitting in our office. The healthiest people are those who can acknowledge that they can't do it alone. Sometimes we need to trust in other people to guide us and give us perspective. It can be a challenge to open up to friends and loved ones for fear of judgement or rejection.

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.
