Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I bring over 20 years of experience in mental health, addiction counseling, public health, and higher education leadership into my work with clients. My approach is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience, which allows me to meet you not just as a professional—but as a whole person who understands complexity, transition, and healing on multiple levels.

My work centers on helping individuals reconnect with who they are at their core—beyond survival, expectations, or systems that may have shaped them. I integrate emotional wellness, identity exploration, and purpose-driven growth into our work together.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions around identity and purpose, I create a space where you can show up fully and begin the process of realignment and healing.

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.
