Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Raleigh, NC
Not keen on detailing your trauma? I'm happy to meet you at a starting point that you feel comfortable with.
Are you someone who had always thought therapy wasn't for you? Did it seem too fluffy and uncomfortable? And yet, you find yourself here because you are at a stuck point in life and need to make a change. Sometimes we find ourselves moving through patterns that just aren't working for us anymore, or knowing exactly what we need to do but feeling lost about how to put it into practice. If this sounds like you, I'd like to help. Email is the Preferred Method of Contact.

Navigating grief and healing from trauma can feel utterly overwhelming. In grief, burdens, unresolved concerns, and newfound questions about our own purpose emerge in the wake of our losses. The weight of anxiety intensifies, casting doubt on our sense of self and triggering a quest for peace amidst the turmoil. Grief serves as a profound entry point to our souls, demanding introspection into our selves, relationships, and beliefs. Healing from trauma requires a trusted, experienced guide, to help unravel the wounds of the past, and help guide healing into the future.

I enjoy working with those who feel misunderstood by the world and others; those who have been called the “black sheep.” Being misunderstood can lead to a disconnect from our authentic self and lead to unwanted automatic behaviors such as people-pleasing, tendency for perfectionism, and denying one’s own needs. It is my passion to help clients feel like someone can understand and to help them reconnect with their own selves again to live more authentically. My experience includes the following: depression, anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, substance and behavioral addictions, life transitions, and identity development and change.

I love co-collaborating with curious folx who want to know more about themselves and find better ways to live under systems of oppression. This can look like wanting to know more about your gender/sexuality, traumas/resilience, patterns/histories, systems/power, and desires/dreams. I work well with folx who want to build softer ways of being, explore voice/dignity, create liberatory self-narratives, and hold grief/trauma in new ways. I love working with community organizers, queer/trans folx, and creatives. I value safely moving into the deep with clients, honoring and tending to wounds that happened to but do not define folx.
