I earned my Master of Social Work from UNC–Chapel Hill in 1999 and have more than 25 years of experience helping adults and families navigate emotional distress, relationship difficulties, and major life challenges. My background includes work as a psychotherapist and child welfare social worker.
I bring experience, steadiness, and genuine curiosity to my work. I am interested not only in what people are struggling with, but in how they came to experience themselves and their lives in the ways they do.
Through Headway, I provide insurance-based therapy to individual adults only. I do not see couples through insurance.
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and encouraged. Together, we'll build on your strengths, explore practical solutions, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Raleigh, NC
Finding couples therapists in Raleigh starts with understanding what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy, Raleigh couples counseling, and marriage counseling in Raleigh, NC may support concerns like communication patterns, trust after infidelity, parenting disagreements, relationship stress, and major life changes. Not all therapists have specific training in working with couples, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy in their profiles.
Raleigh offers a strong mix of local therapy options, with in-person offices across the city and virtual sessions that can make scheduling easier for two people. As you compare Raleigh marriage counselors or relationship counselors in Raleigh, NC, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session structure, and whether both partners feel aligned with the therapist’s approach. Some therapists offer a brief consultation, which can help you understand how they work with couples before you book a first session.
Couples therapy in Raleigh 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 find Raleigh couples therapy options that match your preferences, schedule, and insurance plan. You can review therapist bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose a therapist who is ready to meet with new clients.
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.
