Therapists in Raleigh, NC

Life is not easy for any of us. Everyone experiences hard seasons whether internally, with friends and family, at work, or dealing with the past. When you can better understand yourself, your story, how you relate to others, and how life experiences have affected you, you will also be able to better navigate these hard seasons.

Have you ever found yourself feeling isolated, afraid to share your thoughts and experiences with others? Are you afraid of how your truth will be received; you may be concerned about stigma related to emotional and behavioral challenges or fearful that no one else can possibly understand your experiences. In my years of practice I have discovered that individuals can experience relief in finding someone with whom they trust to share their story, and can be empowered by doing so. It is my mission to offer each individual that I encounter a safe, comfortable and nonjudgmental environment to explore their experiences.

Has life been feeling "off" lately? Are you struggling with anxiety, low mood, lack of motivation, or stress? Has a recent significant life change, loss, or transition made functioning difficult? You want support, clarity, and an unbiased listener as you work through complex thoughts and feelings. Returning to being your best version can be close. Setting small, realistic goals and learning coping skills through therapy can help guide you toward the life you want and deserve.

I believe that therapy is a place where you can build on your strengths, hone new skills, and explore your authentic self without judgement. I work to view my clients through the multi-facets of their lived experience and provide the external "nudge" that allows them to deepen insight and encourage personal growth. Using evidenced-based, non-judgmental practices, my goal is to collaborate with you on your journey of self-reflection and acceptance. Together we can pack your toolkit with usable skills so you feel confident to go forward and create positive change in your life.
