Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in North Carolina

CBT is an evidence-based therapy that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. By learning to recognize negative thinking patterns and develop healthier ways of responding, clients can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. CBT provides practical tools that help improve emotional regulation, problem-solving, and overall well-being.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients in North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia. With over five years of experience and more than 7,000 clinical hours, I specialize in helping individuals—particularly women—heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, overthinking, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, practical, and trauma-informed, utilizing EMDR and other evidence-based techniques to uncover and address the root causes of emotional distress. I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to build healthier patterns, strengthen confidence, and create lasting change.

I predominantly use CBT along with a few other modalities. I think it is important to identify why we are thinking the way we are or where thoughts come from so we can appropriately change our behaviors.

I have been a social worker for over 10 years and my passion is helping people accomplish their goals. I believe that having a strong support system, no matter how big or small, is a key step in achieving our goals. I want to be part of your support system. My passion is watching people grow and become the best versions of themselves.

CBT is amazing. Challenge your thinking and change your life for the better!
