Therapy for Women in NC
Therapy for Couples
“Rediscover Yourself & Find Fulfillment”
Many women reach a point in life where they begin to question who they are, what they want, or where their life is headed. You might look successful on the outside but feel unfulfilled, anxious, or unsure of your next chapter. It’s common to feel pulled in many directions by work, relationships, family, and expectations while losing touch with your own needs and identity.
Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back and help you create a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and aligned with who you truly are.
“If any of this resonates with you, reach out to explore working together.”

My Approach
My approach to therapy is simple. I meet you where you are with no judgment. Together, we will explore what’s weighing you down, uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, and create space for you to reconnect with yourself. Therapy isn’t about fixing you , it’s about supporting you in living more authentically while cultivating a healthier relationship with yourself and others. I use a range of evidenced-based approaches in my practice. In your first session, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We may explore both the past and present. We will focus on your resiliency, choices and solutions.
Some of the approaches I use may include:
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) or CBT – challenge unhelpful beliefs and build healthier thinking patterns
Mindfulness – develop awareness and manage stress
Narrative Therapy – explore and reframe the stories you tell about yourself
Strength-Based Approaches – build on your existing strengths to create change
Solution-Focused Techniques – focus on goals and practical steps forward
During our time together, I’ll help you challenge unhelpful thoughts and responses. I provide new perspectives to help you understand and manage your challenges with confidence. Think of me as a guide, helping you uncover patterns, gain practical tools; and move from surviving to truly thriving.
