Helping ADHD brains thrive - Trauma recovery with EMDR - LGBTQ+ affirming. You’ve been doing your best to keep it together, but your brain won’t slow down, the past still hits hard, or you’re tired of trying to explain your identity. If you feel scattered, stuck, or just plain exhausted—you're not alone. I help people like you find clarity, healing, and practical tools to move forward. I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused strategies, and EMDR (when it’s a good fit) to help you create real change. We’ll challenge old patterns, take practical steps forward, and when appropriate, use EMDR to gently reprocess painful memories and shift the beliefs that keep you stuck. Therapy with me is collaborative, down-to-earth, and supportive—expect compassion, real talk, and plenty of space for laughter along the way. You don’t have to do this alone! If you’re ready to feel more grounded, focused, or just more you, let’s talk. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if we’re a good fit. You can reach out by phone or email—whatever feels easiest. I’m here when you’re ready.

I've heard many times how difficult it is to find the right match or how scary it is to start the journey of therapy--- which is why the core value at All In Mind is bringing the genuine human therapist to the room. Allowing you to be heard and working through the challenge(s) that brings you to therapy. If you find that you are struggling with negative thoughts, anxiety keeping you stuck in one place, trauma that you don't know how to deal with---this is a good first step. Let's connect and see if I'm a good fit for you!

College can feel like constant pressure — perform well, make the right choices, keep it together, don’t fall behind. I work especially well with high-achieving students who look like they have it handled on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck internally. Whether it’s performance anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, relationship stress, or just feeling like you’re never doing “enough,” we’ll work together in a structured, practical way. I use evidence-based tools (primarily CBT) to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and habits are connected — and to build skills you can actually use between sessions. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can be real, feel understood, and leave with strategies that help you move forward with more confidence and clarity. I offer virtual therapy and accept multiple major insurance plans. Book directly through my scheduling link at the bottom of this page to verify insurance and availability.

I am a sport and performance psychologist specializing in helping high achievers overcome performance anxiety and injury. Do you play better in practice than in games? Does fear, doubt or lack of confidence hold you back from being your best? Are you feeling burned out or have lack motivation to train and compete? As a Certified Mental Performance Consultant I can help you overcome slumps and obstacles to excellence. I can also provide mental training to help you be your best when it matters most to reach your potential. I work with athletes and other high achievers in academics, music and the performing arts. *My website says I am not accepting new patients due to my in-season schedule with Charlotte FC and the 23XI Racing Team - but please call the office and check availability particularly during the summer months as my third location (Queens University) schedule opens up.

Gerton, NC

My practice model is all about helping clients explore themselves and their place in the world. As a licensed psychologist with experience working in a variety of care settings, I have expertise in treating depression, anxiety, lifestyle stress, trauma, addiction, and spiritual/existential distress. My therapy takes a nonjudgmental, compassion oriented focus. Through guiding my clients to approach themselves in more open and honest ways, I help them uncover their core needs so that they may lead lives that feel vibrant and fulfilling. I view health as a balance between mind, body, spirit, and environment. As such, my therapy style is holistic. I regularly guide my clients in mindfulness-based practices and offer an approach that blends Internal Family Systems therapy with somatic work and cognitive-behavioral exploration. In a culture where consciousness altering drug use is on the rise, I also work with clients to gain optimal wellness following challenging, disorienting, or invigorating psychedelic experiences. My passion for the Enneagram heavily informs my therapeutic lens, and I happily teach this tool to clients interested in evolving their understanding of self. I work to bolster my clients’ strengths while developing new skills and fresh insights. With sensitivity to the health impact of both personal and cultural forces, I strive to create a safe, welcoming space for my clients to explore all facets of their identities.

I am passionate about helping other people improve their health and have dedicated my nursing career toward continually achieving this goal. I am honored to have been a registered nurse for 17 years, with most of that time spent in a major metropolitan hospital responding to medical emergencies as part of the facility’s Rapid Response Team. After gaining a wealth of experience performing rapid assessments and thus improving the physiological and mental health needs of patients in crisis, it made sense for me to evolve and find a niche that focused solely on psychiatric-mental health nursing. I approach new clients with the belief that they should be encouraged to speak freely, which is a fundamentally important step towards establishing clear goals and objectives. Furthermore, I would like my clients to feel comfortable being an active participant and engaged in improving their mental well-being. The goal of our time together is quite simply to help you start to feel better and improve the quality of your life. I would like you to feel comfortable enough to share the issues that are most challenging and burdensome so that we may work towards addressing them head on. Our initial encounter will include learning your history, how you’ve been feeling, any past successes and/or failures with medications, and then collaborating towards a plan to achieving the goal of feeling better and improving your mental health.

The idea of starting therapy can create a lot of worry and stress for new and even experienced clients. Therapy is about being vulnerable and I am so proud of you for taking the first step towards self healing. Our therapeutic relationship begins with establishing trust within the first few moments of meeting. Those who are searching for a therapist often get lost in the “where do I start” mindset, so I make it may goal to help ease your doubt, answer questions and guide you on the path towards change. We will re-discover your strengths and focus on your potential to understand past trauma, intense emotions and current struggles. Our time together is focused on you. I meet my clients where they are in session whether you are experiencing the highest of highs or the lowest of lows. I focus on a person centered approach, putting you in control of where you want to see change. I work with children to young adults (5-45) in person in NC or virtually in North Carolina and Florida. The relationship between you and I is what makes counseling essential to kickstarting effective progress. I am with you every step of the way to help monitor your journey. Together we will focus on skills that boost confidence, strengthen self-worth, create timely goals, and help you understand intense emotions that cause distress in your daily life.

While life’s challenges are inevitable, our suffering doesn’t have to be. I am here to empower you to take on these challenges with confidence! I work with children, teens, & young adults struggling with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, emotional regulation, familial issues, ADHD, & more. My experience as a former school counselor provides a unique perspective of the daily struggles of today’s youth and I am passionate about helping families work together to set their children up for success. I also enjoy working with young adults as they begin to figure out who they are while transitioning into a more independent individual. My work with clients is rooted in CBT, with a person-centered and holistic approach and includes principles of mindfulness to help empower clients to feel in control of their own mind and unlearn patterns that prevent you from living life to the fullest. I am a firm believer that we can harness the power of our own minds and use its strengths for good. I strive to bring a warm, empathetic energy to sessions and allow individuals to feel welcome and accepted exactly as they are, providing a sense of validation, comfort, and trust. All while also helping you to uncover compassion for yourself. Together, we will work as a team to discover your strengths and find peace in the chaos!

Figuring out identity, establishing meaningful relationships, and navigating through changing independent roles while on the quest for financial stability, can be an overwhelming mix of demands. Add spiritual and/or cultural expectations to the blend and you might just feel like quitting before you even start! It’s a wonder why anxiety, depression and other forms of addictive “coping” exist. Need some help addressing these symptoms while managing life’s demands? Say less.
