Therapist

Life can often feel like a series of overwhelming transitions, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of your next step. I provide a dedicated space for adults (22+) to slow down, reflect, and move forward with renewed clarity.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of trauma, managing a mood disorder, or facing significant life changes, my goal is to help you transform "feeling stuck" into a journey of intentional growth.

How We Will Work Together

My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.

Specialized Support for Couples

In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.

**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.

Your Journey Starts Here

You deserve a space where you are fully seen, heard, and empowered. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fayetteville

Finding addiction therapists in Fayetteville starts with understanding the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, cravings, relapse patterns, and behavioral concerns. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with addiction, substance use, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their needs.

In a smaller city like Fayetteville, local appointment options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search while keeping care accessible from home. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach to recovery support. Recovery often takes different forms over time, so it can help to look for a therapist who uses a non-judgmental style and has experience with harm reduction frameworks. Reading therapist bios can show how they talk about goals, setbacks, structure, and collaboration before you book.

Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing support more affordable. Headway helps you check your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare addiction therapists who are accepting new patients. You can review bios, choose between in-person and virtual appointments when available, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
