You may be struggling with feelings of overwhelm, or life transitions that feel heavier than expected; you may feel stuck in a cycle and unsure how to move forward.

When you're stuck in painful patterns—like self-doubt, relationship struggles, or unhealed wounds from the past—it can affect every part of your life. You might find it hard to connect with others, trust yourself, or feel at ease in your own skin. Setting boundaries may feel impossible, and you might carry the weight of responsibilities that were never yours to begin with. Over time, this emotional heaviness can lead to anxiety, sadness, fear, or a sense of being lost. When everything feels too tangled or too heavy to hold alone, it’s hard to know where to start.

I am in-network with Aetna, Alliance Behavioral Healthcare, BCBS, Carolina Complete, Healthy Blue of North Carolina, Medicare of North Carolina, MedCost, NC Medicaid, United Health Care, Optum, and WellCare Health Plan.
I love dogs, specifically Boston Terriers. I love music and was a touring musician for a bit. I love sports and am the type to wake up at 4am on a Saturday to watch a soccer match. Humor is so important. Long walks on the beach are cool, too. I say all this because before I am a therapist, I am a person with interests and hobbies. In my opinion, too much of the traditional therapeutic process can feel sterile and impersonal. This approach might not work for all but hey, honesty is important. You may have told social media about your mental health acting up, now tell a licensed professional.

One of my favorite movie lines is spoken by Melvin Udall (played by Jack Nicholson) who barges into his therapist's waiting area and asks a room full of patients, "What if this is as good as it gets?!" Do you find yourself asking that same question? Have you settled for an existence well below that of your dreams? Do you feel that change is out of your reach? Have you fallen prey to believing the negative things you say to yourself? It doesn't have to be this way.
