Find a Therapist in Morrisville, NC

I am a Licensed Psychologist specializing in trauma therapy and posttraumatic stress (PTSD) therapy, offering online therapy statewide in North Carolina. Here, you’ll be seen, heard, and supported as we uncover the patterns that no longer serve you and create meaningful change. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you’re in the right place. I provide personalized trauma therapy and posttraumatic stress recovery treatment virtually across North Carolina that honors your lived experience and meets you exactly where you are, as well as a space for healing, growth and emotional wellness whether you’re: - Carrying the weight of past trauma or posttraumatic stress (PTSD) that still impacts your day-to-day life - Feeling drained by burnout or chronic stress, like you’re running on empty - Struggling with anxiety or depression that makes even small tasks feel heavy and seeking anxiety counseling - Navigating a major life transition such as a breakup or divorce, career change, relocation, or identity shift where you are feeling unsteady and need support - Grieving a loss or coping with traumatic grief that feels impossible to put into words, finding support through grief therapy - Wanting a supportive space to explore women’s issues, including boundaries, identity, self-worth, or empowerment - Looking for LGBTQIA+ affirming care where all parts of who you are are fully respected and welcomed Your healing deserves a space that feels safe, steady and thoughtfully tailored to you. I will walk alongside you as a trusted guide, helping you make sense of what’s happened, reconnect with your strengths and move forward at a pace that feels right for you. My 90-minute extended therapy sessions and specialized Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) intensives for trauma and posttraumatic stress are thoughtfully designed and uncommon in most practices. They give the necessary space for trauma work that truly moves you forward. This intentionally curated approach allows for the time and depth required to process experiences fully without feeling rushed or fragmented. It helps address what’s holding you back and keeping you stuck and build resilience for sustained growth in a way that fits your life and your goals. Our work goes beyond simply talking through what’s happened. It is structured, focused and designed to create real change. Together, we focus on understanding how your experiences continue to shape your thoughts, emotions and patterns and intentionally work to shift them. This creates space for both insight and meaningful resolution and allows you to move forward with greater clarity, stability, and a stronger sense of control. Please feel free to contact me via phone or email, complete the inquiry submission form on my website, or schedule your free 15-minute consultation call through my online scheduler to get started. I look forward to partnering with you on this transformative and healing journey you are more than worthy of!

Are you navigating general stressors, life transitions, complicated family dynamics, or parenting challenges? If so, I’m here to listen, validate, and ask thought-provoking questions. We can explore your story with curiosity and process life’s ups and downs. My goal is to help you build awareness and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Are you navigating general stressors, life transitions, complicated family dynamics, or parenting challenges? If so, I’m here to listen, validate, and ask thought-provoking questions. We can explore your story with curiosity and process life’s ups and downs. My goal is to help you build awareness and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. In our work, we’ll talk about what's on your mind, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and reflect on childhood experiences, patterns of thinking and behavior, and deeply held beliefs. We’ll identify barriers, strengthen coping skills, and uncover insights that support growth and new perspectives. As a helper by nature, working professional, mother of two, and oldest of four, I understand the complexity of juggling many roles. My healthcare experience has shown me the strength people bring to hard moments, fueling my passion for supporting parents, helping professionals, and those navigating the complexities of being human.

The folks who are most likely to get help in sessions with me are healing from any number of things: eating issues, diet culture, trauma, or just the act of living through some truly unprecedented times and experiences. Clients tend to benefit most from therapy when they are motivated to work on what matters to them, rather than something someone else has identified as a “problem,” and you will find someone who will honor that. I have recently joined NC Therapy Professionals, a group that shares my values. I am a Health at Every Size provider specializing in the care of folks with eating issues. I also have significant experience working with people who have experienced trauma. I can help you address things through eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I also use internal family systems (IFS)-informed interventions. I am extremely person-centered and trauma-informed, and I have a special affinity for fat clients and LGBTQ+ folks.

Life is moving fast these days, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed juggling relationships, work or school, family, and the constant noise of the world. If you've been feeling a pull toward change, toward more calm and clarity, toward a lifted spirit despite life's challenges, or just to a life that works better, good therapy is a place to start. I've been in the private practice of depth psychotherapy for 30 years. It would be an honor to help you move into greater life satisfaction and joy. I approach therapy from a perspective of growth and wholeness, despite the fact that it may be problems or emotional pain that bring folks to therapy. The Chinese word for "crisis" also means "opportunity." Problems contain disguised keys to create positive change. My job is to be with you as you seek and find keys hidden in life's challenges that open doors to growth, healing, resolution, and transformation. I like to tell my clients that they are the best and only experts on themselves, and that my role is to facilitate the growth and deepening of their self-expertise. In therapy lingo, this is called a "client-centered orientation". Specific techniques I might use are always held with this basic context, with the comfort and the quality of the relationship being foundational. As the poet Rumi put it, "When someone asks what there is to do, light the candle in their hand."

I enjoy working with women and girls who are looking to reduce anxious thoughts and improve relationships with others. People who have trauma that is hard to talk about or feel as if if they are too much, have a space with me. Most often, the clients I see are women who have tried their best to work through the struggle on their own or in traditional therapy, but found that it wasn't working for them. Traditional therapy is a lot more worksheets and not enough moving through whats coming up together. I am here to cheer you on or hold your hand every step of the way if needed. I help clients feel better at an effective pace using multiple exposure based interventions that support multiple different diagnoses. Exposure therapy is one of the only highly proven modalities to reduce anxiety and trauma responses. When it is time to ask a professional for help, you want someone that can efficiently reduce symptoms. If you relate to any of the descriptions above, please reach out to me for a consultation call where we can figure out what therapy means for you. Give yourself the opportunity to feel freely then let go of what is weighing you down. I know how difficult it is to take the next step, this is your sign to finally take it.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or intimidating. I offer a safe, judgment-free space with warmth, honesty, and a touch of humor—where you can vent, laugh, cry, or all three (sometimes in the same session). Together, we’ll build practical tools, resilience, and help you reconnect with balance and inner strength.

Do you ever feel like your mind is racing on overdrive, your motivation has hit a wall, and the stress never lets up? Maybe you shut down, snap at people you care about, or turn to substances, or endless scrolling, to quiet the noise. I work with adolescents (ages 12+) and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or are navigating grief. You might be a teen who withdraws or feels easily irritated, or an adult juggling work and family who appears “fine” on the outside, but feels anything but inside. My ideal clients seek relief, clarity, and practical tools—not just to get through the week, but to feel more grounded. I help clients find real relief—slowing racing thoughts, easing emotional heaviness, and examining coping habits like substance use. Using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed approaches, we’ll uncover the roots of anxiety, depression, and overwhelm, while building healthier, more sustainable ways to cope.

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, collaborative, and focused on helping clients better understand themselves while building the life they truly want. I work with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, identity exploration, relationship challenges, addictive behaviors, and life transitions. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel supported, empowered, and able to grow at your own pace, while building greater self-trust, resilience, and clarity.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsatisfied in life? Are you struggling to accept and love your body? You may be feeling stuck or lost, but living a values-based, fulfilling life is possible. My goal is to support clients in creating a life they desire through consistent empathy and unconditional positive regard. Therapy can be a powerful tool for increasing quality of life and the therapeutic relationship is essential in this process. I am a Health at Every Size (HAES)-aligned provider, and I am passionate about challenging diet culture. I believe everyone deserves treatment that offers acceptance, support, and encouragement, and is free from judgment. I use an eclectic approach, combining different modalities, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing (MI). I am specially trained in trauma-specific treatment modalities, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and cognitive processing therapy (CPT). I have experience working with depression and mood challenges, anxiety, eating challenges and disordered eating, body image concerns, trauma, chronic illness, chronic pain, and personality-related challenges. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, and I believe everyone should have a safe place to heal. I would be honored to assist you in creating sustainable change through therapy and to be a part of your healing journey.

My approach to therapy is open-minded, collaborative, and centered on creating a safe, judgment-free space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), depression, grief, self-esteem concerns, school and social issues, and life transitions. I believe each person is the expert in their own life, and I strive to help clients discover the tools, strengths, and support they need to grow, heal, and feel more confident in themselves.

Finding a therapist is a personal choice. I offer a FREE 30 minute consultation to all new clients to give them the opportunity to meet me before making that decision. My passion is helping teens, adults, and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and problems adjusting to unexpected life challenges. Often we get off course from achieving our goals when stumbling blocks get in the way. These detours are emotionally draining and can cause problems with relationships, careers, and the ability to achieve happiness. It can lead to feeling overwhelmed, difficulty concentrating, disrupted sleep patterns, and a sense of loneliness. My role as a therapist is to assist you in getting back on track so that you can achieve your goals and live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. My treatment focus is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), a scientifically proven treatment found to be highly effective in treating symptoms of anxiety, depression, behavior problems, relationship difficulties and many other issues. CBT has been shown to require a shorter time in therapy than many other treatments for children, adults, and couples. My focus is centered around CBT, but I tailor each session around the needs of my clients. Together we will collaborate to find the best treatment for you.
