I have been in private practice for 20 years with my specialty focusing on individuals resolving historic traumas and women balancing all of the complications of womanhood in a fast paced, demanding world. My style is informed from my diverse experience. I have worked in adolescent residential treatment, FBI consulting, an expert witness and a graduate school professorship; all the while working with my private practice clients. In the last several years, I have been sought out as a corporate consultant and speaker to discuss how our negative experiences and traumas shape our behaviors as high intensity professionals.
The untapped magnificence I see in my clients never ceases to inspire and amaze me. Anyone who is willing to do hard work is already a gift to this World! I've grown bored of many things in my life but this work....never!
Life can pull us in a hundred different directions, and sometimes it takes slowing down, getting real, and having honest conversations to find our way forward. My approach is straightforward and commpassionate - no judgment, no fluff. I meet you where you are, walk beside you through the challenges, and help you rediscover your strength, clarity, and purpose.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Raleigh
Finding the right therapist in Raleigh starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. Knowing your goals — even broadly — can help you narrow your search to providers with relevant experience.
From there, look for a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern. Raleigh has a large community of licensed therapists (LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs) and psychiatrists, many of whom offer both in-person and virtual sessions. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach, which makes it easier to decide if they're a good match before you book.
Therapy in Raleigh can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use in-network insurance. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
