I have been working with adults and children in various social work capacities for over 30 years. In 2010 I opened my own clinical practice and have learned and benefited as much from my clients as I believe they have benefited from me by continuing to update my training, being fully present, respectful and supportive in each session and honoring each individual's unique needs.
I believe that healthy relationships are at the heart of emotional well-being and personal growth. Seeking support takes courage, and I am honored to partner with clients as they navigate life's challenges and strengthen their connections with themselves and others.
As a counselor educator, researcher, and relationship specialist, my work focuses on helping individuals and couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships, improve communication, and create lasting positive change. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices that support healing, resilience, and relational wellness.
Hi there! Taking the first step is always the hardest part - I'm proud of you for doing it! Making your mental health a priority is the key to success and contentment. I have been working with members of the military and veterans for seven years now. Most recently, I have expanded my work with older adults and new mothers. I look forward to working with you!
Welcome! I'm excited to help you overcome self-doubt, manage work-related anxiety and stress, and navigate toxic or unaffirming work/academic environments. I specialize in working with Black professional women and students struggling with these areas and have been a therapist for 15 years.
As an an expert in relationships and sexual intimacy, as well as life's harder moments, when things feel bleak or it is hard to trust that things will work out again, I am here for you. I am empathic, patient, thoughtful, challenging, and an out of the box thinker offering a steady hand to steer you toward your highest path. I am driven by your goals and act as an accountability partner and friendly ally on your journey to seek pleasure, change, and empowerment. I believe there is opportunity in crisis (big and small) and that you are here because you know what it is you need. Let me help you recover your true SELF.
I believe that meaningful change happens in the context of a genuine therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be fully yourself, whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, or simply trying to understand yourself more deeply.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Human Services from Gardner Webb University and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wake Forest University. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHC-S) in North Carolina with more than 14 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My background includes outpatient therapy, crisis intervention, community mental health, leadership, and clinical supervision.
I have extensive experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, family conflict, relationship concerns, identity development, and major life transitions. I have a special passion for working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, adolescents, and couples seeking to strengthen connection, improve communication, and rebuild trust. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and grounded in authenticity.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Raleigh
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.
