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!

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 Cornelius

Searching for therapists in Cornelius starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or couples counseling. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, focus areas, and what a first session may include.

Cornelius is a smaller Lake Norman community, so the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger cities. Expanding your search to virtual therapy can give you more options across North Carolina while still letting you choose a therapist licensed to see you. If location matters, you can also consider nearby areas like Huntersville or Davidson. Beyond specialty, compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you narrow your list based on communication style and practical fit.

Therapy in Cornelius can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
