Conditions I Treat
I support adults across North Carolina who are navigating a wide range of mental health concerns. While I treat many different conditions, these are the ones I see most often in my practice. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence‑based care that honors your lived experience. My goal is to help you understand what you’re feeling, why it’s happening, and what steps can genuinely help you move forward.
Below are the top conditions I specialize in and how I approach each one.
ADHD (Adults)
Many adults come to me feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or constantly behind, wondering if ADHD might be part of their story. I provide thoughtful, comprehensive evaluations that look beyond checklists and take your whole life into account. Together, we explore patterns in focus, organization, emotional regulation, and daily functioning. Treatment is personalized and may include medication management, practical strategies, and supportive guidance to help you feel more capable, confident, and in control of your day‑to‑day life.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety can show up as constant worry, physical tension, racing thoughts, irritability, or a sense that you’re always bracing for something. I help you understand what’s fueling your anxiety and work with you to create a plan that brings relief and restores balance. Treatment may include medication support, grounding techniques, and lifestyle adjustments that fit your real life. My goal is to help you feel calmer, more centered, and able to move through your days without feeling overwhelmed.
Depression
Depression can make even simple tasks feel heavy. Whether you’re experiencing sadness, irritability, loss of motivation, or emotional numbness, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I take a compassionate, whole‑person approach to understanding your symptoms and how they’re affecting your relationships, work, and daily functioning. Treatment is tailored to your needs and may include medication, behavioral strategies, and supportive guidance to help you reconnect with yourself and regain a sense of hope and momentum.
Insomnia & Sleep Issues
Sleep is foundational to mental health, and when it’s disrupted, everything becomes harder. I help you identify what’s interfering with your sleep—whether it’s anxiety, ADHD, hormonal changes, stress, or long‑standing habits that no longer serve you. Together, we build a plan that supports restorative rest through evidence‑based strategies, medication when appropriate, and practical adjustments that fit your lifestyle. Better sleep can transform your mood, focus, and overall well‑being.
Women's Issues
Women often face unique mental health challenges related to hormonal shifts, life transitions, caregiving roles, trauma, and societal expectations. I provide a supportive, validating space to explore these experiences and understand how they’re impacting your emotional health. Whether you’re navigating PMDD, postpartum changes, burnout, relationship stress, or identity shifts, we work together to create a treatment plan that honors your needs, strengthens your resilience, and helps you feel grounded and empowered.
Trauma Disorders & PTSD
Trauma can leave lasting emotional and physical imprints, even long after the event has passed. Many people live with hypervigilance, intrusive memories, avoidance, irritability, or a constant sense of being “on edge,” without realizing these symptoms are connected to trauma. I provide a compassionate, steady space to help you understand how trauma is affecting your daily life, relationships, and sense of safety. Treatment may include medication support, grounding strategies, and a trauma‑informed approach that respects your pace and your lived experience. My goal is to help you feel more regulated, empowered, and connected to yourself again.
