What populations do I work with?

I provide individual therapy to adults (ages 18+) located either in the state of North Carolina or Washington. I am fully licensed for practice in both states (WA: LW 60890887; NC: C013720).

I practice from a culturally curious lens and enjoy working with families of diverse backgrounds and all gender identities and sexual orientations.

I do not work with couples or families.

What issues can I help with?

Issues I am equipped to address in therapy with you are:

• Post partum disorders (depression, anxiety, OCD)

• Life transitions

• Relationship stress

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Career or academic stress

• Concerns with substance use (primarily alcohol, marijuana, nicotine/vaping)

• Parenting stress (particularly new parents)

• Issues with fertility

Where do I meet with clients?

I can meet with clients virtually or in-person. I meet with clients virtually through a video platform called Simple Practice. For my North Carolina clients, my office is located in the Crabtree area of Raleigh off of Glenwood Avenue. I typically do not do phone-based appointments.

What is my availability?

I see clients in person on Mondays and Tuesdays. I do virtual appointments on Wednesday through Friday. All of my appointment times are during the hours of 9am to 5pm EST, Monday-Friday.

My availability for new clients fluctuates frequently depending on the needs of my ongoing clients. Please outreach to learn of current openings.

What is my therapeutic approach?

I recognize that therapy is not a one size fits all endeavor and value adapting my therapeutic approach to my individual clients’ needs. Some approaches that I commonly utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. I am goal oriented and solutions-focused. I’m prepared to meet you where you’re at and go from there.

What is my therapeutic “style” or what is therapy like with me?

Clients describe me as warm and personable. Part of the joy of therapy is getting to know my clients and making them feel comfortable in session with me. I consider myself adaptable; some people enjoy being challenged whereas some need a gentler listener. I’m pretty good at figuring out individual needs that way. No matter what, I believe compassion & a judgment-free relationship is essential to feeling safe in therapy and the first step to making change. I also value humor when appropriate. Although therapy can bring up difficult emotions, it can also be a lot of fun. I laugh with my clients frequently.
