Deciding to start therapy can be an intimidating and confusing process. How do you find a therapist? How do you decide? There are so many different therapists and types of therapy you may feel overwhelmed and may not know where to begin.
Hopefully, some of the information provided on this website about my psychotherapy practice has helped you with this decision.
If you are ready to start therapy you may be wondering what happens next?
The answer depends on a number of factors.
If you know you are ready to begin and you want to schedule an appointment you may either send an email to info@ncpsychologist.com
Or you may call me at (919) 935-1901 and I will schedule your appointment within 24 hours. Afternoon and evening appointments are available.
* A note about telephone calls. I know that many people don't like to leave messages; however, if you call and the call goes to voicemail please leave a message. I am unable to answer calls while I am in session but will return your call as soon as I am available. You can also schedule a telephone consultation using the online scheduling program.
If you are still not sure or if you have a few questions you want answered first we can set up a free telephone consultation to answer your questions.
After our consultation, if you decide you want to proceed and schedule an appointment I will provide you with a copy of my office policies, privacy policies, and consent forms. I ask that you read these prior to your appointment, complete the necessary forms, and sign where appropriate. We will review these documents at your first therapy session. You can schedule the free consultation by either calling or clicking the blue button at the top or bottom of this page that says schedule a free telephone consultation. The button will take you to a confidential online scheduling program with several available times during the week. If none of the times are convenient call now and let me know some times that you have available to talk.
We will spend the first few psychotherapy sessions taking a detailed history and gathering information necessary to develop a plan of action for your therapy. Together we will develop a plan that will help you meet the goals you wish to attain through counseling. In the case of child and adolescent therapy, parents and clients will be involved in developing the plan.
Throughout the therapy process we will assess the appropriateness of your plan to see if it is working and change it as needed. Some people begin psychotherapy wishing to address an immediate issue causing pain and are satisfied to address this problem. Once the crisis is over and the pain reduced or eliminated they terminate therapy.
However, others may decide to pursue deeper issues once they have reached their initial treatment goals. Whatever you decide is best for you, we will work together to develop the most effective treatment.
I am often asked “Will my mom or dad be involved in my treatment sessions?” It depends on your needs and the needs of your family. With children the family is involved in therapy sessions as they play a major part in helping the client/family achieve their goals. Individual therapy, family therapy sessions, or parent coaching may be required depending on your family needs.
For teens the answer to this question is a little bit more nuanced and the response is “maybe”or “as needed.”
Some teens have problems and concerns that they don’t feel comfortable discussing in front of their parents. In that case we will work together to meet your treatment needs, those of your family, respect your family culture, and maintain your confidentiality.
Another question I am often asked is about payment. I ask clients to pay at the beginning of each session. Some clients wish to submit claims for reimbursement to their insurance carrier and others prefer to simply cover the costs without involving their insurance provider. There are both good and bad points to both and we can discuss these concerns during your initial therapy session. If you choose to submit a claim for reimbursement I will provide you with a receipt to submit to your insurance carrier and they will reimburse you directly. If you are a retired FDNY 9/11 survivor, payment arrangements are made through FDNY and I can make the necessary arrangements through FDNY counseling services.
Payments are accepted via cash, check, all major credit cards, or PayPal. If you are paying via PayPal please do so prior to coming to your session.

I am grateful that you are here and am hopeful to begin a collaborative journey with you. As an LCSW it is my mission to provide a supportive and empowering environment while assisting individuals on their personal journeys through life.
I have over ten years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and families with a wide range of presenting issues including anxiety, peer relationship issues, social concerns, academic/work struggles, depression, difficult family dynamics, as well as stress and life transitions. I am able to work with individuals or with groups in order to provide you with the best therapeutic approach and one you are most comfortable with.
Together we will work on managing symptoms, building skills and changing perspectives. I believe in a client centered, strengths based approach in order to help individuals find balance, empowerment and provide a safe environment while navigating life’s challenges.
I am also trained in Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples!
As your counselor, my goal is to provide a warm and welcoming space. I will show up for you again and again, truly listen, and put YOU first. We will work together to identify your strengths and goals, and to overcome life’s adversities. Are you a high achiever fueled by your inner critic? Is your inner critic impeding your own happiness?
As your counselor, my goal is to provide a warm and welcoming space. I will show up for you again and again, truly listen, and put YOU first. We will work together to identify your strengths and goals, and to overcome life’s adversities. Are you a high achiever fueled by your inner critic? Is your inner critic impeding your own happiness? Do you feel like your inner critic is the only mechanism driving your success? Are you dissatisfied with your life? Let's work together confidentially to unravel self-limiting beliefs to optimize growth and self-awareness.
I use a range of therapeutic techniques best suited for each individual, ranging from Existentialism to Internal Family Systems. You are uniquely you, and your treatment should reflect that. I specialize in the treatment of chronic health conditions and individuals with overactive inner critics and low self-esteem.
The first step of reaching out is the hardest, but you are here for a reason. Let's tackle the next steps together. No soft voice here; just a real and relatable gal ready to listen, challenge you, and aid you in your growth. I greatly look forward to hearing from you.

I enjoy working with children to adults and offer support through individual, family, and group sessions.
I have experience addressing anxiety, depression, OCD, behavioral issues, adjustment issues, navigating family dynamics, trauma, self-esteem, and grief and loss. I utilize various techniques and approaches based on your needs, but utilize a cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapy lens.
If you are feeling lost, overwhelmed, and hopeless, I want to offer you a safe and nonjudgmental environment to pursue your wellbeing.
As your therapist, you are my focus and we will work together to build a life that you deserve and find fulfillment in. We will explore why we do what we do, not with judgment but with compassion. All behaviors make sense and you will gain insight to explain behaviors and learn to heal from previous hurts. There is no room for judgement
As your therapist, you are my focus and we will work together to build a life that you deserve and find fulfillment in. We will explore why we do what we do, not with judgment but with compassion. All behaviors make sense and you will gain insight to explain behaviors and learn to heal from previous hurts. There is no room for judgement in my sessions, we are learning the root causes of unskillful behaviors and how to interact in the world, develop healthy relationships, all while maintaining your needs and acting in congruence with your values. We will create goals for therapy and celebrate the successes (large or small), and continue to build on the progress.
I have years of experience working with adolescents, family conflict, eating disorders, parenting challenges, and couples.
My therapy style is client focused and I use a wide variety of techniques to tailor to the clients needs.
I am a family therapist by training and use a Structural Family Therapy approach to identify the needs of the family system, identify the problematic cycles and the internal strengths, and improve the overall functioning. I can help families learn to manage the challenges of parenting adolescents with big feelings in a safe relationship that develops trust and respect.
I teach my clients healthy coping skills with a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. You will learn how to allow space for being uncomfortable and gain confidence to be able to regulate your emotions and not let your emotions control you. Emotional progress is not linear and I will be here with you during the ups and downs.
Therapy is for everyone, whether you’ve experienced trauma, want to learn skills to better your relationships or regulate your own emotions and reactions. As your therapist I will meet you exactly where you are without judgement. I feel honored to walk through your life with you and learn about the events both helpful and harmful that hav

I feel honored to walk through your life with you and learn about the events both helpful and harmful that have shaped you into who you are today. I am interested in your goals and will help you work towards them with a strengths-based approach.
I currently have 6 years of experience in the mental health field working with trauma, ADHD, depression, anxiety, interpersonal/relational struggles and alcohol and drug addiction. I work with young children on up through adults, and will tailor our sessions to meet your specific needs. I use a combination of motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.

My passion for helping others started early on and as a teenager I decided that I wanted to become a therapist
so that I could make a difference in others’ lives. Today I have over 20 years of experience working with
individuals of all ages from diverse backgrounds in a variety of therapeutic settings.
As a therapist I believe that the most important aspect of my job is offering a safe, nonjudgmental space
where we can talk through past experiences, identify successes and challenges, and work toward your goals,
whatever they may be. I believe that there is something powerful in sharing your story and feeling heard and
understood. Every individual is different, so I utilize an open-minded, eclectic approach to empower clients in
finding their own path. I have training and experience in several different types of therapy, but my go-to
strategies are rooted in Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Structural Family Therapy
(SFT), Strength-Based Therapy, and the practice of Mindfulness.
As a counselor, one value that I hold high is diversity. I love working with clients of all ages and different backgrounds. When working with clients, I want to create a safe space for those who feel they have never had one. Counseling is not something that is to be feared but embraced through therapeutic partnership.

As a counselor, one value that I hold high is diversity. I love working with clients of all ages and different backgrounds. When working with clients, I want to create a safe space for those who feel they have never had one. Counseling is not something that is to be feared but embraced through therapeutic partnership. As a counselor, creating awareness can be such an empowering tool, which is what I would like to teach you. As a counselor, I incorporate many different techniques and skills to best serve YOU! Throughout the therapeutic process, you and I will collaborate to create goals to help reach your desired outcomes. I look forward to working with you throughout your therapeutic journey!

As a therapist I hope to create a safe and welcoming environment for people to feel comfortable sharing their life experiences with me. I aim to provide a service that is beneficial for you because your well-being is important to me. I do not intend to judge or control your life, for each step made in our sessions will be based on your participation and readiness. Counseling is an experience in which you (the client) and I (the therapist) will work together to resolve and process any life struggles including emotional and relationship issues, life transitions, and develop problem-solving skills. In our sessions we may discuss your concerns and create goals that may require some outside of session work or practice. I offer individual counseling in addition to the teen groups run in our intensive outpatient program. I enjoy working with adolescents and teens ages 8-18 years and I have experience working with young adults, parents and families. I have worked with individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, ODD, mood disorders, and behavioral issues. I hope to meet you soon and I can support you as you strive to thrive.
As a clinical social worker, it is my goal to work with you on your endeavors. Whether that may be healing from trauma, working through life’s challenges, or gaining skills, I am here for you.

As a clinical social worker, it is my goal to work with you on your endeavors. Whether that may be healing from trauma, working through life’s challenges, or gaining skills, I am here for you. I have experience working with children, teens, and adults with trauma, depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns, parenting, and adoption. I integrate a few different approaches, including CBT, behaviorism, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy.
My experience working with individuals, families, and groups has taught me that each person has a unique experience. I work with all my clients from a strengths-based approach with you at the center. As the client, you are the expert on your experiences, and we will work together to develop helpful and healthy coping skills and manage life’s challenges in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.
As your therapist I promise to provide a judgment free zone that allows you to feel
safe, heard, and understood. I believe that each person is unique and therefore
requires individualized care and opportunity for growth. Together we will work to
create a collaborative partnership that focuses on your personal needs and goals.

As your therapist I promise to provide a judgment free zone that allows you to feel
safe, heard, and understood. I believe that each person is unique and therefore
requires individualized care and opportunity for growth. Together we will work to
create a collaborative partnership that focuses on your personal needs and goals.
Our work will focus on your strengths and your ability to overcome your challenges
through new skills, trauma processing, and the continued development of emotional
regulation.
My background has allowed me to not only personally experience challenges of
adolescence and young adulthood, but also become someone who can walk with
those in similarly challenging circumstances. I have five years experience working
with children, adolescents, and adults (ages 7-30) in individual, family, and group
settings. This experience has focused on a multitude of mental health challenges,
such as anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, trauma, adjustment issues, self-
esteem, and grief and loss.
I am grateful to have the ability to work with many different backgrounds and
beliefs and pride myself in being someone who is open and accepting to all walks of
life. My Master’s degree is in Christian Counseling, which allowed me to develop
skills as a Professional Counselor who can work with any background/belief, as well
as provided me a foundational understanding of Biblical Concepts to be applied
from a Christian perspective, if desired. I consider myself to be eclectic in my
therapy approach and draw from various theoretical views and techniques to best
fit each individual’s needs. This approach allows me to use various techniques
derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy
(DBT), and Person-Centered Therapy (PCT).
I am a firm believer that what we experience in life is an opportunity to grow and, in
turn, help others. My goal is to help you find the best version of yourself and goals
you hope to achieve in life. I look forward to being a support to you in this challenge
we call life!

I believe in being authentic and comfortable with you and will encourage you to do the same. I strive to use my natural curiosity to emphasize cultural humility within therapeutic relationships making them a judgement free zone.
My experiences are wide-ranging including settings such as outpatient community mental health, adult and youth residential placements, inpatient units, etc. She has provided services to both individuals and couples, working on issues such as anxiety, depression, neurodivergences, anger management, substance use, psychosis, trauma, intimacy and sexual concerns, family discord, communication, and so much more. My therapy style is tailored to each client and what works best for you. I am comfortable using multiple approaches and tools to help you reach your goals.

What is an intern and how do they differ from licensed clinicians?
Interns and practicum students are completing their graduate degree in Psychology, Social Work or Marriage and Family Therapy. They are not yet licensed and work under the supervision of our Clinical Director, their University Graduate Professor, as well as a post-doctoral graduate student. Interns are required to complete a specific number of supervised 1:1 clinical hours and may be required to audio or video tape 3 sessions total per semester. The benefit of working with an intern is that they are in University Programs learning the latest counseling and treatment techniques. They are well supervised and they see clients on a very reduced fee schedule of $15-$50/session.
I am honored and excited to be able to walk beside you on your counseling journey.

While I have a 24-year background working with families and children in the stages of early childhood, I hope to continue working with people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds.
As your therapist, it is important to me that I consistently provide you with a nurturing, understanding, and nonjudgmental environment, where you will feel heard and empowered. I believe in a collaborative style, and am prepared to walk alongside you throughout this journey. Our sessions together will be structured based on your needs and goals. I will be approaching each session with an integrative perspective, meaning we have the flexibility to determine which therapeutic method will work best for you personally.
I hold the philosophy that every person contains within themselves the tools and abilities needed to identify, comprehend, reflect on and resolve their concerns. My hope is that, as your therapist, I can be here to aid you in finding that clarity. I look forward to being a part of your journey towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

As your therapist my intention is to create a relationship where you can be the most authentic version of yourself. We all need a safe space to feel the things that are hard so we can grow and create change. My therapeutic interests include but are not limited to; grief, trauma, adoption, parenting, attachment injuries and somatic issues. My background as a movement therapist for the last 15 years also influences the way I approach psychotherapy, to help you get to the root of the problem not just reduce symptoms.

My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, identify your goals, and develop strategies to overcome obstacles and achieve meaningful change. I believe that each individual has unique strengths and experiences that shape their journey. My personal philosophy as a counselor is rooted in the belief that everyone possesses the tools they need to achieve their goals and overcome their challenges. As a counselor, my role is to help you identify and access these tools, and to provide support and guidance as you work towards your goals. I believe in fostering a collaborative and empowering relationship with my clients, where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By helping you recognize and harness your own innate abilities, I aim to help you build a greater sense of confidence, resilience, and self-efficacy. Ultimately, I believe that everyone has the capacity to create meaningful and fulfilling lives, and I am committed to helping my clients achieve this goal. I am working towards my MA in Counseling with a specialization in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Wake Forest University. My prior clinical experience is in treating adults with anxiety, depression, and comorbid disorders in a high acuity setting. My theoretical orientation includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Therapy. With CBT and DBT, I work with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, manage difficult emotions, and build effective coping skills. With Narrative Therapy, I help clients explore their personal narratives and develop a more congruent sense of self. In addition, I also enjoy incorporating Art Therapy techniques into my work with clients. I look forward to working with you to support your mental health and wellness.

As your therapist I am dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of individuals, families and communities. I have a deep passion for helping others, and I am committed to providing compassionate support and promoting mental well-being. Throughout my academic journey, I have actively sought out opportunities to gain practical experience in various clinical settings including inpatient and residential facilities. These experiences have allowed me to refine my therapeutic skills and develop meaningful connections with clients. This has exposed me to a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance abuse. I possess a diverse range of skills that contribute to my effectiveness as an upcoming clinical social worker. Active listening, displaying empathy, and building strong therapeutic relationships are the foundation of my practice. Crisis intervention and collaboration with interdisciplinary teams are areas where I have gained proficiency. My professional philosophy is rooted in a person-centered approach, recognizing and honoring the unique experiences and strengths of each individual. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges openly. I strive to empower my clients to discover their own resilience and inner resources, fostering a sense of agency and self-determination. Collaboration and inclusivity are central to my practice, as I value the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual respect. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you become the best version of yourself.
