Have you ever found yourself striving for approval, feeling like you have to be perfect to be accepted? No matter what you achieve, does a voice still tell you it’s not enough? Do you feel anxious, wondering if you're too much for others or if you'll never measure up? Do you crave deep connection but struggle to feel close or connected to your desires? Beneath it all, do you long to be yourself, feel confident, and let go of the fears holding you back? A therapist helps by fostering self-acceptance, reducing anxiety, and building authentic connections.

As a therapist and fellow “in-progress” human I believe that we are all constantly growing and changing through many seasons. Some seasons can feel like they last a lifetime, but no matter how difficult the season or how long it sticks around, I believe no one is without hope. I strive to instill that hope and confidence in you and create a space where you feel comfortable navigating tough questions, big emotions, and difficult situations.

Every day I have the privilege of working with the bravest folks on the planet & none of you know it when you first walk in the door. You often feel defeated, overwhelmed & ashamed that you aren't able to "get over" your sexual, physical or emotional trauma. It's also common for you to have a nagging, chronic sense that something is just not right, an unhappiness; feeling unloved or unlovable, disconnected from friends and family, having lost a sense of purpose or direction. Without knowing that these symptoms may be telling us that a past trauma--long ago

Now Offering: Clinical Supervision for LCSWAs. Like many overwhelmed women, I'm guessing you've been taking care of the needs of others for so long that you've lost touch with how to take care of your own. I'm also guessing you're burnt out, and simultaneously feeling like you're doing too much and not enough. Whether you are hoping to process childhood wounds, relationship issues, or work stress we can work through it together. I enjoy working with women ages 18+ to address wounds related to their own upbringing, trauma, issues that come up in parenting, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

I am a native New Yorker and have been living in North Carolina for the past 18 years. I know how overwhelming it is to reach out to a therapist for the first time. It like stepping into the unknown and that can be a good thing at times. Don't allow society's stigma to stagnate you from getting the help you need I believe that counseling is a collaborative endeavor that requires me to be a non- judgmental ,honest, compassionate and caring therapist.

Life brings with it many challenges. Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger are all to common. Feelings of isolation from the help you need. Maybe you are a military service member or a local first responder who feels forgotten by those whom you served. Maybe you feel lost in life and need a place to find relief. Whoever you are, I desire to help.

I was in NY for the past 20 years and working at Columbia. I have transitioned to NC within the past few months in hopes to enjoy the slower pace and the sunshine. I believe reaching out to a therapist is one of the hardest things to do because of the stigma. My goal is to provide a caring, nonjudgmental space for you to express your true feelings of anger, depression, anxiety or even addiction. I believe your past unconsciously impacts your future and with a little patience, empathy and understanding can lead to a happier you!
