Therapy without judgement

I practice individual and group psychotherapy.  I use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Gestalt techniques, Person-Centered Therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and ACT  (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) to help you cultivate your own self awareness.  I'm simply a facilitator of self reflection.  


My goal is to provide a safe space for you to talk about what you are experiencing and to learn how to integrate your new self awareness into your every day life.

  Whatever you are experiencing I am here to listen and act as a resource for you.  I do take medical insurance.  I am in network with Cigna, Aetna and UnitedHealthcare.  

Do you live somewhere other than the Triangle?  Don’t worry.  I offer telehealth sessions.  You can live anywhere in NC.  If you are ready to talk about your experiences please consider reaching out today!
