I am licensed as a L.C.S.W. (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). This license allows me to do the clinical work of psychotherapy in the state of North Carolina. My Master's Degree in Social Work had an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. I did additional training in the area of Alcohol and Drug treatment post graduate school. I have over 30 years of professional work experience. In that time, I have worked with children, adolescents, couples, individual adults, families/stepfamilies and the elderly. I have worked in in-patient settings, out-patient, residential treatment, Intensive Outpatient and private practice. My academic training was primarily in the area of Structural and Strategic Family Systems, and those ideas are the basic underpinnings of my work. I try to meet my clients where they are at and where they feel comfortable as a starting point. Dependent upon the issues presented and your goals we might delve into your past family of origin issues. But therapy could also be focused primarily on present day experiences and concerns. A lot of my work is in guiding people to learn to improve their life by changing their thoughts and behaviors (Cognitive - Behavioral Therapy). Additionally, I have had past training in the treatment of Trauma. I also focus on the impact on mental and physical health due to larger societal issues such as racism and other forms of discrimination. I support efforts at Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in healthcare. Therapy does not have to be a long, drawn-out process in order to be effective. Sometimes a few sessions may be all that is needed for problem resolution. Many people opt for ongoing therapy as a way to check in and hold themselves accountable for the changes they have made as a result of therapy. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage as it can be scary revealing private information to a stranger. Most people report some benefits to having seen a therapist. You never know how therapy may benefit you unless you try it. I hope the journey for you is one that brings enlightenment, strength and a renewed sense of yourself.

As a licensed therapist in North Carolina, I specialize in helping adults heal from complex (relational) trauma and the lasting patterns it can create in their relationships, nervous systems, and sense of self. I support clients experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, and major life transitions. My work is especially suited for people who have spent much of their lives caring for others, adapting to maintain connection, or setting aside their own needs to keep relationships secure. Using trauma-informed, nervous-system-based, and parts-oriented approaches, I help clients understand the protective patterns beneath their struggles, build greater emotional capacity, and reconnect with their needs, boundaries, and inner wisdom. I work primarily with women and young adults, including those navigating divorce, pregnancy, parenting, relational change, or identity transitions. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where every part of you is welcome. Together, we will help you move beyond survival, strengthen your connection with yourself, and create a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and fully your own.

Find a therapist near you in Barker Heights, North Carolina

Finding a therapist near you in Barker Heights, North Carolina starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. North Carolina is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In North Carolina, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across North Carolina, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in North Carolina

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
