Therapists in Bent Tree, Raleigh, NC

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients are able to explore issues and improve the quality of their lives.

RDU Therapy is accepting new clients. I strive to partner with clients in a friendly, real, accepting, and approachable way. Clients who may seek services are individuals, couples, families, or parents who are looking for evidence based skills to improve their lives in tangible ways. They may have difficulty interacting without conflict, solve their problems ineffectively and may have not made progress with other therapists. They aim to lead healthy and happy lives and haven’t learned the skills to do so, yet.

The process of change is difficult and painful. While no one can be spared from the pain of life, psychotherapy that focuses on value- and purpose-driven living offers the greatest promise of satisfaction. I will work diligently to help you find, remove and heal from obstacles that have been impeding your joy, self-worth, intimacy with others, and overall fulfillment in life. Let me help you achieve the best possible version of yourself, while finding freedom from shame, self-condemnation, unnecessarily guilt and worry, unhealthy relationship patterns that keep you unsatisfied, empty and disappointed.

Being a child or teen in today’s world is tough, and so is parenting! Although the world is changing fast, the needs of children and teens remain the same as previous generations. Children and teens need to feel love, security, and value.

Parenting support and training is an integral part of my practice. I have been providing individual and family therapy to school-age children to young adults in Raleigh since 2001.

On leave until end of February 2024- Are pregnancy and motherhood supposed to feel this way? Why didn't anyone tell you how lost and alone you would feel? Since becoming a mom, you may feel like your partner and yourself are on autopilot and don't connect anymore. By acknowledging that you need some extra support, you can take the first steps to feeling more hopeful about this new adventure. You can work towards trusting yourself and others.
