Welcome into Carolina Anxiety and OCD

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and specific phobias. I also help clients navigate perfectionism, burnout, and the emotional toll of high-achieving environments. My approach is warm, direct, and evidence-based—centered on helping you get unstuck and move toward what matters most to you.

Not at all. While those are my specialties, many of my clients also experience depression, trauma, infertility, low-self-esteem, bipolar disorder, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, ADHD, and relationship and/or career stress. Mental health concerns rarely show up alone, and I’m experienced in treating the overlap. We’ll take a whole-person approach that supports all parts of your experience. I am also happy to provide additional resources and/or referrals as needed.

Sessions with me are active, collaborative, and real. I use evidence-based treatments like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—always personalized to your needs, your identity, and your goals.

I love weaving humor, sensory work, and genuine connection into our time together. Therapy can be challenging, but it can also feel grounding, meaningful, and sometimes even a little fun. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for real growth, and I’m committed to building a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly seen.

At the end of the day, I want you to know that I’m on your side. I’m here to support you—whether that means helping you face a specific fear, break out of old patterns, or figure out what you really want for your life. We’ll work together to understand your values and see how I can assist you in moving toward the life you want to create.

Yes. Many of my clients have tried therapy before—sometimes for years—without the clarity or progress they hoped for. If previous approaches felt too passive, unclear, or overly focused on talking without tools, we can do something different here. My work is structured, empowering, and focused on helping you make meaningful change.

Both! I see clients in person in Raleigh, NC, and also offer virtual sessions for clients across North Carolina. Telehealth is a great option for flexibility and accessibility.

I'm currently in-network with Aetna.

If you're with another insurance provider, I can offer a superbill—a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients are able to receive a portion of their session costs back this way.

I know insurance can be confusing, and I'm happy to walk you through it. Whether it’s figuring out your benefits, understanding how to file claims, or deciding if a network exception might apply in your case, I’m here to help make the process easier.

If you’re not sure what your plan covers, just let me know—I can guide you through the right questions to ask your insurance company.

The first step is booking a free 15-minute phone consultation. This gives us a chance to connect, talk about what you’re looking for, and decide if we’re a good fit. There’s no pressure and no prep needed—just bring yourself.
