Therapists in Raleigh, NC
You’ve probably scrolled through what feels like every therapist profile, trying to find someone who won’t make you explain the basics of your identity or your trauma. You’re carrying things that show up in the quiet moments, the panic before walking into a store, freezing in conversations, constantly waiting for something to go wrong. You keep yourself overly busy so you don’t have to think, but it still catches up with you. I know that it really sucks to not feel fully yourself, to be hiding, to be consumed with anxiety and fear. And all you want is to feel safe being in the world.

Does the saying "if it's not one thing, it's another" feel like the motto of your life? Are you constantly longing for a sense of peace and happiness? As someone who has faced and overcome my own challenges, I understand how difficult it can be to tackle life's obstacles alone.

Living with chronic pain, I’m intimately aware of the toll it takes on the body, mind, and spirit— how it’s woven into the fabric of all aspects of living, how it has a tendency to keep us tethered to fear, hopelessness, and isolation. I believe in validating the reality of what is chronic and pervasive. I also believe it is possible to soften the grasp these experiences have on our lives. I’m especially passionate about supporting folx with conditions that are often invalidated and overlooked, such as IC, ENDO, & PCOS. And as a highly sensitive person (HSP), I’m deeply committed to supporting those with (extra) tender hearts.

I believe healing happens in safe spaces—where you can be vulnerable and laugh, dive into the deep stuff and send memes, process the hard things and still feel like yourself while doing it.
My goal is to create that kind of space. One where you feel supported, accepted, and empowered to be real, whatever that looks like for you. I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps us get clear on what matters to you and make space for the tough stuff without letting it run the show. Life is messy. ACT helps us show up for it anyway.
