Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Raleigh, NC
I'm trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mentalization-based therapy (MBT), Trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
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.

If you're struggling with anxiety, trauma, your relationship with food, sadness, harsh self-criticism, or a sense of hopelessness, therapy can offer support, clarity, and a path toward feeling more grounded and connected.

I help individuals heal from trauma, including long-standing experiences.
You may be used to being the one everyone depends on — the strong one who keeps going, even when you’re overwhelmed or hurting. Many of the people I work with carry the pressure of family expectations, cultural responsibilities, and the quiet stress of always holding things together. Over time, this can lead to burnout, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from yourself. In therapy, you’re offered a space that centers your safety, your voice, and your healing so you can begin setting healthier boundaries and building a life that feels more balanced and true to you.

I am a somatically integrated therapist and specialize in eating disorders, body image, anxiety, and trauma.
I believe that all bodies are good bodies and align with Health at Every Size(TM). You might be thinking "So then why do I have so much shame about my body?" Your beliefs about your body have been shaped through the media, health education, doctor's visits, television, magazines, and so much more. They may also have been passed down from a parent or caregiver who is also influenced by the same biased belief that thin bodies are better, healthier, and more worthy than bigger bodies. The way you feel about your body is not your fault. Healing is possible.
