The prospect of starting counseling can appear scary. The worries of what other people may think, the stigma of counseling, and the thought of "am I weak'. I have been in this field for over 20 years, in a variety of setting, and I heard from many who shared their hesitation for reaching out. It takes courage to ask for help! I am here to offer education, support, and provide evidence-based treatments. We will work together to accomplish the goals that you set for yourself in counseling

I believe healing happens best in spaces where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I bring both curiosity and compassion to every session, and I genuinely love learning about the unique story that makes you you. I’m thoughtful, a little quirky in the best way, and always eager to grow... both as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and as a person. That means I stay open-minded, ask meaningful questions, and work collaboratively with you to find what truly fits your needs. You’re the expert on your life; I’m here to support you with knowledge, guidance, and encouragement.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, I want you to know that you don’t have to figure it out alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move toward the life you want.

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 Raleigh, NC

Finding postpartum therapists in Raleigh starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also look for therapy for perinatal depression or support during pregnancy from a prenatal depression therapist. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health counseling, postpartum care, and related specialties. A Perinatal Mental Health Certification, or PMH-C, can also signal specialized training.

Raleigh offers a strong mix of local therapy options, and virtual care can make the search easier for new parents with changing schedules, infant care needs, or physical recovery to consider. Some people prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or a familiar part of the city, while others prefer virtual appointments that fit around feeding, naps, or childcare. When narrowing your options, review appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Provider bios can also help you understand a therapist’s communication style, experience with postpartum concerns, and approach before you book.

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 therapists who work with postpartum concerns, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
