  • During your first session, we’ll get to know each other and review what brought you to therapy. You’ll have an opportunity to discuss your concerns and goals, and I’ll explain my approach so we can build a plan together. This session sets the foundation for a safe, collaborative, and productive therapeutic relationship.

  • We provide therapy for adults, couples, and children (8+) across North Carolina. Our approach is flexible and tailored to each individual, blending practical strategies with compassionate, grounded support.

    • Adults: anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma recovery, and navigating high-pressure environments.

    • Children (8+): emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, anxiety, mood challenges, and trauma-informed support.

  • I believe therapy should fit you, not the other way around. I use an eclectic approach tailored to your needs so you feel safe, understood, and empowered.

    Whether you’re working through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I start where you are and collaborate on a treatment plan that respects your values, pace, and goals.

    Private pay offers greater privacy and flexibility, as no diagnosis or treatment information is shared with insurance companies. This may be helpful for individuals or families with security clearances. Insurance plans may limit sessions or coverage, which can be avoided by paying out of pocket. For coverage questions, contact your insurance provider directly.
