Here, you come first.

Let me guess:

You’ve been carrying more than you realize.

For a long time, you’ve taken care of everyone else first—your family, your work, the people who depend on you—while quietly setting your own needs aside. Many women who seek therapy for anxiety, grief, or major life transitions describe telling themselves things will feel better tomorrow, once this season passes, once they get through the next thing. But the constant worry keeps looping, grief and loss remain close to the surface, and emotional exhaustion doesn’t lift. Over time, it can become harder to imagine change—or to believe you’re worth the support you give so freely to others.

And none of this means you’re failing.

At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that You already have the answers.

My role is to help you slow things down enough to hear them. Together, we focus on what you want from therapy, whether that means gently unpacking what you’re feeling, understanding how grief and anxiety show up in your body and mind, or making sense of patterns shaped by loss, stress, or major life transitions. Some sessions may include learning practical coping tools you can use between appointments; others may simply offer space to breathe, reflect, and be with what’s present—without needing to fix anything.

At times, we’ll work on reshaping long-held beliefs or rebuilding trust in yourself after grief, anxiety, or relationship changes. Throughout it all, you won’t be doing this alone. I’ll be alongside you—offering guidance, encouragement, and steady support—as you move at your own pace toward greater clarity, emotional balance, and self-compassion.

“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up when you can’t control the outcome.”

in therapy with me…

Your Pace, Your Goals.

Therapy with me is not about fixing you or telling you who to be. It’s about creating a judgment-free space where we can gently explore what’s brought you here and what you want from this work. Together, we’ll look at the stories and beliefs you’ve carried—many of which were shaped by loss, anxiety, or long-standing expectations—and sort through what’s truly yours to keep. You remain the expert on your life; my role is to help you listen more clearly to yourself.

Understanding what’s stuck.

As we work together, we may explore how past experiences, grief, or ongoing stress have shaped the way you think, feel, and respond today. I’ll offer insight, practical tools, and gentle challenges when needed—helping you approach your history and inner world with more compassion and less self-criticism. This isn’t about reliving pain for its own sake, but about understanding it well enough to loosen its grip and make space for something different.

You Won’t Do This Alone.

I show up as a real person in the room—warm, honest, and engaged. I’ll encourage you, reflect what I see, and walk alongside you as you practice new ways of caring for yourself and relating to others. Our sessions are offered via secure telehealth for clients located in North Carolina and South Carolina, giving you the flexibility to meet from wherever you feel most comfortable—whether that’s at home with a cup of tea, in a quiet office, or any private space where you can settle in and be present. You don’t have to make this journey alone, and you don’t have to be perfect to begin.
