Therapy is a mutual and collaborative process. One that involves the therapist, the client, and the relationships and experiences that have shaped us throughout our lives. The reasons that bring you to this page are specific and unique to you. Finding the best therapeutic fit is no different. Often the path that led you here has been one full of questions, reflections and challenging decisions. At times that path can also feel uncertain, overwhelming, or confusing. My hope is that this can be a step in a direction towards peace and insight while providing comfort knowing that you no longer need to take additional steps alone.

Positive Energy Psychology is giving new life to an engaging therapeutic experience. As a Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Energy Psychology Practitioner, I facilitate techniques such as PSYCH-K (Psychological-Kinesiology) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which may include muscle testing, tapping, body postures, visualization, CBT, affirmations, and light and sound therapy. This integrative approach aims to address our underlying belief systems. These belief systems create patterns of thinking which are often to our detriment, but I’m here to help you realize that beliefs are thoughts and thoughts can be changed.

They say quarter-life crises don't exist, but you don't know what else to call it. You are over-thinking every decision, attempting to please everyone in your life, and barely taking care of yourself. You feel numb and lost, and you're not sure where to go from here. Everyone around you seems to move on with their lives while you stumble through. You're ready to take control and start living your life on your terms.

Therapy is not only intended to treat mental illness or to help alleviate only the most severe traumas. Therapy can help with nearly every aspect of life, from the seemingly everyday to the most devastating situations. We all have solutions we want to achieve and go through changes we need help to navigate. I welcome anyone who is in need of extra tools to help them along on their life journey. I have been helping children, teens, adults, and whole families find healing in difficult situations for over a decade.

The choice to enter into therapy is one that is not lightly made. I take this into account in the development of the therapeutic relationship with individuals who are looking to improve coping skills, gain insight, and improve relationships that lead to an improved quality of life. I believe that individuals are innately strong and resilient, but sometimes need assistance in uncovering these qualities. Whether it is difficulty adjusting to a new life course or feeling lost and isolated in the depths of depression and anxiety, I am here to provide a safe place for self-exploration.

I enjoy working with people in all stages of life. One of my favorite parts of this profession is having the opportunity of spending time with people of various ethnicities, cultures, and backgrounds. My husband is a Methodist minister, and that gives me a unique perspective into family life of the clergy. I walk beside my clients as they face transitions in life. That may be the student starting graduate school or the person facing life after a loss, or a child dealing with her parent’s divorce. Sometimes we find ourselves in places we could not have imagined and need someone to offer us a hand to help us move forward.

The stories of our lives have a tremendous impact on who we are as people, and how we feel. As a narrative-based therapist, it is my privilege to be invited to witness your story and be part of the change that you are seeking. With training in marriage and family therapy comes a unique understanding of how relational experiences, how you grow up, communities, and society as a whole can impact how each person interacts with and understands the world around them. I operate from a neurodivergent affirming and trauma-informed style, and seek to offer a compassionate and understanding atmosphere while inviting you to challenge yourself.

Are you feeling stuck, discontented, or hopeless? Do you find yourself wondering if there is more to life? You are not alone. Many of us find ourselves stuck in patterns of thought and behavior that leave us feeling discontent, disconnected, and unworthy. I believe that we are all born worthy and born with an inner wisdom that guides us towards meaning and authenticity, My goal as a therapist is to support clients in learning to access their own inner wisdom by learning new ways of relating to emotions, relating to others, and relating to themselves.

How can I find a therapist in Central, Raleigh?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

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.

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.

What type of therapist is right for me?

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.

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 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.

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.
