I got my MA in Dance/Movement Therapy and Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2009 and have since worked mostly in community mental health. I'm excited to move more fully into working with women in transitional spaces of life looking for support and validation about their desires and next steps. I also work with preschool age children in their homes or school to help behavioral and relationship issues.

Good to meet you.

Research shows that the single most significant driver of change in therapy is the relationship between the client and therapist. I believe effective counseling requires compassion, acceptance, empathy, trust, curiosity, honesty, and a true sense of connection.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Wilmington, NC


I am an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist. I specialize in complex trauma, especially within relationships and attachment. This means that most of my clients struggle with anxiety, shame, depression, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, codependency, disordered eating, attachments and communication. My niche is working with "cycle breakers" who are navigating how to get unstuck from learned patterns that are no longer serving them. They are often adult children of emotionally immature parents. Dysfunctional patterns often begin long before adulthood and can be rooted in painful family dynamics and/or generational trauma.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Fayetteville

Searching for postpartum therapists in Fayetteville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. A pregnancy therapist, prenatal therapist, or therapist for new moms may also list maternal mental health therapy or perinatal mental health as a focus area. As you compare options, look for experience with postpartum and prenatal concerns, and consider whether a therapist lists specialized training such as the perinatal mental health certification, also known as PMH-C.

In a mid-sized city like Fayetteville, your search may include therapists with local offices, virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can make it easier to find a postpartum therapist who fits your schedule, especially when infant care, physical recovery, or changing routines affect when you can meet. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and experience with prenatal and postpartum concerns.

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 understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who focus on postpartum care, review profiles, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. From there, you can compare therapists, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
