I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina. I have experience working with borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, chronic illness, and life transitions. I use a blend of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques to support your specific needs; whether that’s managing emotional intensity, reducing self-destructive patterns, or finding stability.

Healing may not be linear, and may even be a little messy, but it is possible- I invite you to reach out when you’re ready to take that next step.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fayetteville

Finding the right LGBTQIA-affirming therapist in Fayetteville, NC starts with knowing what to look for. An affirming provider does more than accept your identity — they understand the specific stressors that LGBTQIA individuals may face, including experiences related to coming out, discrimination, family dynamics, and navigating relationships. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LCSW, LPC, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who lists LGBTQIA-affirming care as a specialty and describes their approach in their bio. Reading how a provider talks about their work with LGBTQIA clients can help you gauge whether they're a good match before you reach out.

Fayetteville has a range of mental health providers, but finding one who is both affirming and accepting new patients can take time. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in the Fayetteville area or virtual appointments, which can expand your options across North Carolina. A free phone consultation is one of the most reliable ways to assess whether a provider's style and expertise align with what you need.

Therapy in Fayetteville can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as little as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an LGBTQIA-affirming provider who is covered by your plan.
