Find a therapist in Pittsboro, NC — covered by insurance

I’ve been a practicing clinical psychologist for 40 years. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with many different types of people, including those navigating PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, eating disorders, veterans’ issues, parenting challenges, life transitions, and women’s issues. I’ve worked in private practice, counseling centers, nursing homes, inpatient treatment, and equine therapy, which has given me broad experience supporting clients across many settings and stages of life.

I provide counseling for women struggling with disordered eating, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and more. I am a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist (CEDS) through IAEDP and an Eating Disorders Informed Professional through ERC. I have completed specialized OCD training through Harvard Medical School and am a Clinical Trauma Professional. I will integrate Christian faith into sessions at the client’s request.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) dedicated to supporting individuals, families, youth, and children in achieving emotional wellness and personal growth. With a strong clinical foundation and diverse experience across outpatient, inpatient, and community-based settings, I provide comprehensive, client-centered care tailored to each individual’s unique needs.

I'm so glad you're here! I love working with new moms, helping them navigate the transition into their new role, and high achieving women who have learned to self silence and/or suppress their needs. Helping women navigate any of the challenging transitions of life (newly separated/divorced, new jobs, new relationship, college admission/graduation) is a real passion of mine!

If you have been feeling stuck and having difficulty with motivation or decision paralysis, I can help with that! If you have been struggling to experience joy, let's talk!
