About My Clients

My clients are often capable, thoughtful adults who appear to have it together but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck beneath the surface. I work with people experiencing anxiety, burnout, trauma, perfectionism, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Together, we create space to understand recurring patterns, strengthen self-trust, and make meaningful changes. I offer in-person therapy in Raleigh and online counseling throughout North Carolina.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and National Certified Counselor with a master’s degree in counseling. My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized—I do not believe therapy should feel rigid or one-size-fits-all. I draw from evidence-informed, relational, and trauma-sensitive approaches to help clients understand the patterns shaping their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and choices. Our work may include building practical coping skills, exploring past experiences, strengthening boundaries, and developing greater self-trust. I provide an affirming, weight-neutral, and anti-diet space where clients can speak honestly without judgment. My goal is to help you feel genuinely understood while also offering thoughtful feedback and practical support that lead to meaningful, sustainable change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every person deserves care rooted in dignity, respect, curiosity, and compassion. My practice is affirming, inclusive, weight-neutral, anti-diet, and grounded in the understanding that our identities, relationships, environments, and lived experiences shape our well-being. I value authenticity, connection, growth, and personal freedom. I do not view people as problems to be fixed. I believe therapy should help you better understand yourself, challenge expectations that no longer serve you, and build a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are. All identities, bodies, backgrounds, and family structures are welcome in my practice.
