Dementia Therapists in Raleigh, NC
I have 10 years of experience working closely with adults and older adults experiencing difficulties related to neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, etc.), identity (including LGBTQIA identities), and persistent relational struggles.
I am currently accepting referrals for psychological assessments only.
I often work with patients to examine longstanding difficulties, both with others and within their own selves. Such patterns often leave people feeling misunderstood, empty, lost, unheard, unseen, taken advantage of, stuck, angry, or resentful. Feeling this way can leave you feeling disconnected from and distrusting of others; even those who you love and want to feel close to. Many times, these pieces can be extremely difficult and even can feel impossible to share. And that's okay. We will work together to address what feels important to you and at your pace.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, sad, unmotivated? Perhaps you are living with some profound health changes, life changes, experiencing chronic pain, feeling stuck; trying to predict what comes next in your life and feeling a loss of control .

Seeking therapy is a courageous decision of choosing ‘you’. I recognize the significance of choosing therapy in vulnerability, and I feel passionate about walking alongside individuals on their journey of healing and growth. Each person’s experiences and emotions are unique, and as a therapist, I recognize that this individuality is a vital tool in healing. I partner with my clients to unveil and process their unique emotions in an empathetic, safe, and non-judgmental approach. Therapy is not only a passion of mine; most importantly, it is an honor.

When life feels heavy, it’s easy to lose sight of who you are and where you’re going.

Selecting a therapist can be a trying task, often during a difficult time. Obtaining an initial appointment quickly, same day returned phone calls, and being promptly seen as scheduled facilitates a smoother process. The therapist provides a bridge to move your life forward in more satisfying ways. This requires a safe therapeutic space, building a solid alliance, dependability, support around your concerns and achievements, identification of core conflicts, and experiencing growth in constructive, meaningful ways to enhance your internal self-understanding and life-fulfillment. If this is the experience you are seeking, I could be a good fit.
