Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.

I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.

Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

Ready to stop managing the noise and finally start living?

You are exhausted from carrying everyone else's luggage. On paper, you are high-functioning, capable, and the one everyone turns to. But inside, the mental noise feels like a car alarm that has been blaring for days without stopping. You have tried analyzing your thoughts, policing your anxiety, and forcing yourself to stay calm, but your heart is simply tired of the old way of surviving.

You don't need another clinical checklist or a rigid set of coping mechanisms. You need a space where it is safe to completely drop your armor.

I help people heal from trauma, with a special focus on sexual trauma, and I’ve been honored to support a wide range of individuals — including women, men, military veterans, and LGBTQIA clients — as they work through their experiences and take meaningful steps toward healing. I also enjoy helping people work through challenging life transitions (e.g., parenthood, divorce, etc.) and identity-specific concerns (e.g., men's issues, women's issues, gender identity exploration). In addition to individual therapy, I also provide relationship therapy for monogamous, non-monogamous, and open relationships as well as psychological assessment (e.g., ADHD, dementia, learning disorder, mental health) for adults.

Frequently asked questions

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.
