I'm so glad you're here! I love working with new moms, helping them navigate the transition into their new role, and high achieving women who have learned to self silence and/or suppress their needs. Helping women navigate any of the challenging transitions of life (newly separated/divorced, new jobs, new relationship, college admission/graduation) is a real passion of mine!

If you have been feeling stuck and having difficulty with motivation or decision paralysis, I can help with that! If you have been struggling to experience joy, let's talk!

Life has a way of changing us, sometimes in ways we never expected. My passion is helping people navigate those moments with compassion, clarity, and confidence.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), I believe healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about reconnecting with the person you've always been beneath the stress, pain, burnout, or life transitions.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, relationship challenges, grief, substance use recovery, or simply feeling stuck, I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself. You don't have to have all the answers before you walk through my door.

My clients often describe me as genuine, compassionate, easy to talk to, and someone who isn't afraid to bring a little humor into the healing process. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and approachable. Sometimes the most powerful moments happen after we've laughed together.

Above all, I want you to know this:

You don't have to navigate life's journey alone.

I believe everyone deserves to experience the joy and peace that comes from healing. If you're feeling stuck in darkness, weighed down by past experiences, or caught in negative thought patterns, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.

For more than 34 years, I've helped individuals, primarily women, heal from trauma, build self-esteem, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have advanced training in EMDR and specialize in helping clients process traumatic experiences so they can move forward with greater confidence and emotional freedom.

My approach is holistic, recognizing the connection between your mind, body, and emotions. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to reach your therapy goals. My hope is to help you move beyond simply surviving so you can fully experience the joy, fulfillment, and life you deserve.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Apex

Searching for therapists in Apex starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for training, specialties, and approaches that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.

Apex has a growing mental health care community, but local appointment options may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can help expand your search beyond nearby offices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand their communication style and what a first session may be like.

Therapy in Apex 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 care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, see estimated costs before booking, and choose from in-person or virtual appointments. You can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
