I offer real therapy for real people. My work is trauma-informed, practical, and focused on what actually creates change, awareness, accountability, emotional regulation, and new experiences of safety. This isn’t quick fixes or surface-level advice; it’s thoughtful, relational work done at a pace that respects your nervous system.

Not in the traditional sense. While I may offer tools or reflections when helpful, therapy with me is less about telling you what to do and more about helping you understand patterns, increase emotional awareness, and make intentional choices that align with your values.

I work with individuals and couples who are motivated to understand themselves, their relationships, and their patterns more deeply. Many of my clients have experienced trauma, chronic stress, relational conflict, or emotional overwhelm and are looking for meaningful, lasting change.

Yes. I work with couples who want to improve communication, rebuild trust, increase emotional safety, and better understand relational patterns. Couples therapy is grounded in trauma-informed and systems-based approaches rather than blame or quick fixes.

That’s more common than you might think. Many people come to me after therapy that felt too surface-level, invalidating, or disconnected. We’ll take time to understand what didn’t work before and approach therapy in a way that feels safer, more collaborative, and more effective.

It depends on your goals and needs. Some clients benefit from focused, short-term work, while others choose longer-term therapy to address deeper or more complex patterns. We’ll regularly check in and adjust as needed.

Yes. All sessions are provided via secure telehealth to clients located in North Carolina. Many clients find telehealth allows for greater comfort, consistency, and accessibility.

You don’t have to be perfectly ready. Therapy can be a space to explore ambivalence, uncertainty, or hesitation at your pace. Curiosity is often a better starting point than confidence.

I do not provide emergency or crisis services. If you are experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, please call 911. For immediate emotional support outside of session, you may contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or Mobile Crisis at 1-866-437-1821.

You can reach out through the contact form or by phone. I’ll follow up with next steps, availability, and information about insurance or self-pay options.

Therapy with me is a good fit for individuals and couples who are open to self-reflection, willing to slow things down, and interested in understanding patterns rather than placing blame. My clients are often motivated to build awareness, take accountability, develop emotional regulation, and create safer, more connected relationships over time.

I may not be the best fit if you’re looking for quick fixes, advice-only sessions, or someone to take sides in relational conflict. Therapy with me involves active participation, honesty, and a willingness to explore uncomfortable emotions in a supportive but accountable way.
