I bring more than 25 years of experience in education, leadership, and counseling into my work as a therapist for high-performing women and young professionals in North Carolina.

For the past 20 years, I have worked at Duke University supporting students, women, and families through periods of transition, high expectation, and change. My professional background includes career counseling, college preparation, academic advising, and leadership support.  Currently, I oversee leadership and volunteer engagement across diverse communities, work that continues to shape how I understand stress, emotional labor, and burnout in capable, high-achieving people.

Today, my therapy practice is focused on high-performing women - often professionals, leaders, caregivers, and helpers - who are managing anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, and life transitions while continuing to show up for others. Many of my clients are outwardly successful yet privately exhausted, carrying significant responsibility at work and at home, and unsure how to sustain their lives without sacrificing their well-being.

I believe self-care is not a buzzword, but a set of practical, learnable skills that support long-term balance and resilience. In therapy, I take an empathetic, culturally responsive, and collaborative approach. You bring deep knowledge of yourself and your lived experience; I bring evidence-based counseling tools, systems-level insight, and a steady, non-judgmental space. Together, we work to reduce anxiety, strengthen self-trust, and create more sustainable ways of navigating work, relationships, and personal expectations.

Our sessions offer time to slow down and reflect on your thoughts, emotions, patterns, and strengths. I gently challenge what may no longer be serving you while honoring the intelligence, capability, and care that have brought you this far.  Whether you are navigating stress, burnout, self-doubt, depression, identity shifts, or major life transitions, you do not have to do it alone.

I am based in Raleigh, North Carolina and provide secure telehealth therapy to clients across the state of North Carolina. My practice is a safe, inclusive, and affirming space. I proudly support and affirm all LGBTQ+, racial, ethnic, religious, and cultural identities.

Therapy can be a place to exhale, regain clarity, and reconnect with yourself—especially when you are used to being the one others rely on.
