Therapists in North Carolina

Hi there, I'm Jenni! Feeling stuck and frustrated? Struggling to deal with the loss of a loved one? Trying to find balance in your life while coping with chronic illness? Expecting an upcoming change? Not able to sleep or stay on top of things in your life? I am here to help! Therapy cannot be effective if we are not meeting your specific needs and goals. I want to meet you where you are and together identify a path forward. I like to understand you, your values, and your background while also giving you solution-focused interventions you can utilize to make changes. If talking it through without homework is the way you want to go, that is fine too! We are all capable of change and moving forward but sometimes it is the dialogues in our head, relationships, or other factors that are getting in our way. Therapy is a great place to work through those and be more connected with what you value in your life. Let's work together!

Therapy is your space. A space to pause. To exhale. To say the things you’ve been holding in. It’s yours—whether you’re working through a tough transition, feeling overwhelmed, carrying old pain, or just trying to make sense of what’s next. As a therapist with over 20 years of experience, I offer a safe, affirming space to grow through what you're going through. In a world that can feel overwhelming—especially in times of political and societal change — you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals aged 16-60(ish) who are looking to: ✔ Manage everyday stress and anxiety ✔ Explore life and career goals. ✔ Heal from trauma or grief, including suicide loss ✔ Build confidence and overcome feeling "stuck" ✔ Find affirming therapy as part of the LGBTQIA++ community ✔ Better understand and support Trans/NB loved ones ✔ Cope when loved ones struggle with addiction or mental health challenges ✔ Navigate the uncertainties and stress of today’s political and social climate I am committed to inclusive, culturally responsive care that respects your identity and lived experience. I also recognize and honor the unique challenges faced by military service members, veterans, and their families. Whether navigating the demands of military life, the stress of transitions, or the impact of service-related experiences, I provide a space for healing, resilience, and growth. Choosing the right therapist is an important decision. Please book a free, 15-minute consult call so we are both sure our connection is a good fit.
