I'll be honest and say that sometimes "life be life-ing." Life has a funny way of taking twists and turns. Some are recognizable, others not so much. When different parts of your life intersect, it may cause you to experience many feelings, including being overwhelmed or weighed down. Your current journey in life might cause you to be unsure of how you feel. We are all humans trying to figure out life the best way we know how, and sometimes, we need support to get through that as we push forward. Community is necessary to survive. Sometimes, you may need an unbiased perspective to help navigate life's challenges. Other times, you may need someone to listen. Regardless of the reason, I am here to assist you.

Using an integrative and holistic approach to therapy, I work with teenagers and adults navigating different life transitions, anxiety, depression, the effective and ineffective patterns in your life, exploring the relationships in your life (including the one you have with yourself), and learning healthy coping strategies. I use a mix of different evidence-based modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Techniques, while seeing clients in person at our Raleigh office and virtually for sessions. Therapy is not linear, and your journey is uniquely yours. It is important to me that my clients understand that they are in a safe, judgment-free space as we work together, where they can feel accepted and understood. Clients I have worked with have started their therapeutic journeys feeling deeply saddened, anxious, and unsure of what to do next and have left feeling confident, clear-minded, and ready to start new chapters in life. With an eye for rapport building and being person-centered, I look forward to using my training to work with you toward your therapeutic goals.
