Not sure if we would be a good fit to work together? Schedule a 30-minute (free) consultation and we can decide after our conversation if we are a good fit

Frequently Asked Questions

Why therapy? Working with someone who can remain unbiased to support you with issues that are impacting your life is helpful. I am a therapist that is going to encourage you to challenge yourself and go through the suck, not merely go around it. You show up, we will do the work.

What if I am not sure about us being a good fit together, what do I do? Whether it is me, or any other therapist, I encourage you to schedule a consultation with the therapist you are considering working with. Spending 90 minutes with someone during the initial session only to determine you do not connect with the therapist, is not ideal so take some of the stress out of it. Whether it is me, or someone else…schedule a consultation first. I offer a 30-minute (free) consultation to determine if we are a good fit for each other.

What happens if we decide to work together? I will send you the paperwork via email or USPS and we will schedule an initial session. Completed paperwork will need to be received prior to our first session.

What will my first session look like? What will additional sessions look like? The first one to three sessions will be more questions than continuing therapy sessions. This allows me to gain a better idea of who you are, strengths and challenges. Additional sessions will be focused on areas where you are seeking improvement and growth.

 Do I only provide telehealth? I provide both in-person and telehealth sessions. My physical office is located at 2500 Regency Parkway in Cary.

What is my session availability? I currently offer late afternoon and evening appointments and I offer weekend appointments on a case-by-case basis.

Please schedule a consultation and I will answer any additional questions you may have.

Knowing that we need help can be hard. Asking for help can be even harder. I can assure you that whether we meet in person or virtually, you will feel comfortable to be able to unpack and process the things that are hard and may even be holding you back from living the life you want to live. Together, we will work together and create a plan that is tailored for you, not a cookie cutter, one size fits all type of approach.

I do believe laughter is an important part of life and think therapy provides opportunities for reflection, insight, growth and yes…some laughter. My therapeutic approach: straight-forward and reflective. I also understand that sometimes things are hard and having someone to process the hard things with, without judgment, is the best thing that you can do for yourself.

I earned my Master of Social Work, Master of Education and Bachelor of Social Work from North Carolina State University. Outside of formal education, I have received training in a variety of therapeutic models with primary areas of focus being Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy strategies.

I am from a small town in Montana. After serving in the US Army at Ft. Bragg with the 108th Military Police Company (Air Assault/Airborne), I now proudly call North Carolina HOME.
