Clients often describe me as direct, relatable, and easy to talk to. I provide a safe place where you can be fully yourself.

I view therapy as a collaborative experience. Think about when you learned to drive a car. It surely didn’t happen overnight. You had a teacher- maybe a parent, a family member, or another trusted adult- that was there to help guide you. As you practiced driving and became more comfortable in this new skill, you required less guidance and gained more confidence. Years later, driving has become second nature and something you do entirely on your own.

Now imagine therapy as a similar process. You bring your lived experience and readiness to learn. I bring the tools and support. Healing is the destination. There will likely be pit stops, road blocks, and maybe even route changes- but it’s a trip that we are on together.

Yes, virtual therapy is proven to be just as effective as in-person therapy sessions. Virtual therapy is often more convenient for those with busy schedules- students, professionals, parents- as it offers more flexibility with scheduling and allows you to attend from the comfort of your own space. I provide secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy to clients across North Carolina, including Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill.

During our first session we will dive into the issues that brought you to therapy and focus on where you want to go.

This initial session will be more of an interview style. Follow-up sessions will be much more conversational and action-oriented toward goals.

Everyone’s therapeutic journey looks different. You will likely see notable improvement in your areas of focus within the first few months.

We will periodically revisit your goals and adjust service frequency as needed.
