Therapists in Raleigh, NC
I am an EMDR trained therapist.
Anxiety and trauma can consume your life and energy. Often people want to get help but are unsure where to go or who to see. Managing anxiety is, in my opinion, is a multi-disciplinary and holistic approach to developing cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and self-care skills while cultivating important aspects of your life and letting go of others that don't serve you. Managing anxiety is also the process of developing an intense curiousity about what life would be like without worry and fear and developing a healthy sense of humor. I know...because I walked this path myself.

I also have training in EMDR to address trauma and IFS to navigate our different "parts" that show up during sessions.
YOU are doing it! Congratulations! Finding a therapist is not easy. Let's face it, we (therapists) can all look the same in the search. This process is similar to finding your favorite pair of shoes. Think of your favorite pair of shoes. When you tried on your shoes, how did they fit? Snug? Loose? Did you walk around the store to try them out? When finding a therapist, the same traits apply. Some may prefer snug; others loose. Only you can know which therapy style works for you. Now your opportunity is here. Give yourself a hug! Again, Congratulations!

I am trained in EMDR and IFS informed.
Reaching out for help can be a hard first step. New things can be hard and sometimes a little scary. Maybe you have been battling your own mental health for years. Or maybe something recently has happened and you just aren’t sure what to do next. You just know you want something to change.

Trauma informed and EMDR trained therapist that is trying to make bad shit less bad for you.
You good? I ask because I can see that there's a pain in your eyes that you're trying so hard to disguise like everything is okay. I'm asking because I'm genuinely concerned about how you're doing. I know that we often think that people don't care about how we are but me, I do care. So, tell me, are you good? You don't have to hold onto all of that hurt, that anger, that anxiety, that stress, that pressure. You don't have to be the hero. You don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders just so you can be criticized for not carrying a bigger boulder.

It's okay to feel like you need to be heard, have someone to talk things through with, celebrate the little wins in life, and hold you accountable to the goals you want to succeed in.

My work is focused on being neuroaffirmative, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, trauma-informed, and culturally competent for all.

Because each individual is unique, I draw from an eclectic approach of modalities; narrative therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, Emotion–Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, motivational interviewing, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy ( EMDR).
When certain parts of our life feel out of control, it creates stress that impacts other areas of our life. Seeking help can feel like a chore. Not only do you have to find a therapist that feels like a good fit, but you have to tell your story to a stranger. I know all of this, and I want to make it feel easy, productive, and worth your time. I enjoy helping all people, but some of my refined interests include traumatic stress, attachment injuries, SUD's, and life transitions. I can help adults, teens, kids, couples and families. In my work with teens, I have interest and experience in helping adoptees and transnational adoptees.

Recently, I've become trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR) to aid in healing.
Are you feeling stuck or invalidated? Are you struggling with loving your body? Do you want to feel at home and safe in your body? Change is hard, and you deserve the support you need. My goal is to aid in guiding clients to creating the life they desire. I believe that therapy is a powerful tool, and the therapeutic alliance is crucial to change. I’m a licensed clinical social work associate. Before outpatient work, I worked as a primary therapist in a residential eating disorder treatment center. I practice through a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework and believe everyone should feel safe in their bodies.

Using a variety of treatment modalities, including what is widely-considered to be the gold standard for trauma resolution, EMDR, I work with you to remove unconscious blockages that may be standing in your way of fully achieving your goals.
I work well with clients who have previously found therapy to be lacking. While my clients typically find sessions enjoyable, I also push for each person with whom I work to utilize learned skills throughout the week! Life changes require effort but I also understand that it's hard to make significant changes when every moment feels like slogging through molasses. I tend to be more involved as a therapist than some, which is a choice born out of my own life experiences. Sometimes people don't have a fully-developed support system to help support them as they begin to make healthier choices. If that's the case for you, get in touch.

I use techniques from CBT, EMDR, mindfulness strategies, and a person-centered approach to ensure your healing journey is personalized and effective.
At times, life can feel overwhelming, and you might find yourself in a constant battle with your emotions. The struggle to determine whether you're in control or if your emotions are controlling you can be incredibly challenging. Feelings of uncertainty and the weight of "what if" questions can become a heavy burden, leading to emotions like hopelessness, anxiety, sadness, or irritability. It's not uncommon to feel lost in these moments. Perhaps you've noticed that unhealthy behaviors and old patterns have become all too familiar. Please know that you're not alone in these experiences.
