I believe everyone has untapped potential—and that reaching it begins with understanding and connection. Drawing from client-centered and evidence-based therapies, I help individuals and families exchange shame for confidence, and burden for lasting change. My goal? To guide you toward a life where hope isn’t distant—it’s everyday.

Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Pacific University (OR).
Since 2010, I’ve supported clients in mental health clinics, schools, sports settings, substance-use programs, and correctional facilities.
I’m licensed in multiple states, including NC and MN.
I’m a wife, mom, coach, and lifelong learner—discovering ways to apply therapy principles in real life. I homeschool, paddle, and coach track. You might spot me chasing audiobooks on sports psychology, nature walks, or practicing my Spanish or Afrikaans!.
Psychotherapist & Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Facilitator
Accepting new individual & family clients
I've seen how early intervention changes everything- and how the body remembers what the mind needs to let go of. Together we'll navigate your experiences, using evidence-based tools and the power of the mind-body connection, so your emotions and experiences no longer direct your life-you do.
Children (10+), teens, adults, and older adults experiencing:
You will find a compassionate guide who respects your strengths, and helps you integrate new coping tools- mindfully, gently, and powerfully.
Experienced in supporting clients facing life transitions: living abroad, relocating, parenthood, and recovery journeys. I continually deepen my trauma and body-awareness training to bring you the latest, safest, and most supportive care.
Proud NC mom of two, and learner at heart. Connect with me over research on trauma-informed yoga or stop me for a quick chat if you see me in the neighborhood- I love meeting local families!
I am currently on a waitlist for new individual and family clients.
I’m dedicated to doing what works—right now—for you and your family. If you’ve tried therapy before and are still seeking change, you’re not alone. I partner with clients to create bold, evidence-based strategies that lead to real growth. My mission? Highly effective care that makes your life richer and more meaningful
Children (6+), teens, adults, and families dealing with:

I'm just "real"- a wife, mom of twins, marathon dream-chaser, board-game lover, and coffee shop explorer. Beyond the therapy room, I'm deeply committed to bringing evidence-based practices to parents, schools and communities-so mental health support is accessible, practical, and rooted in real science. I serve as a voluntary board member for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Triangle, where I advocate for mentoring and mental health access for youth across our region. Spot me with my therapy dog around Raleigh? Don't hesitate to wave and say hi!
As the first point of contact for many, I help families and individuals feel seen and supported even before their first session. I build local relationships with schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations to ensure RDU Therapy’s evidence-based services are not just accessible, but integrated into how our region cares for mental wellness.
I’m a proud North Carolina native, happily married with two wonderful kids and a sweet dog who keeps us smiling. I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and finding ways to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and at home. Whether I’m spending time with my family around Raleigh or welcoming someone to RDU Therapy, I believe in treating folks with warmth, respect, and a whole lot of heart. It’s important to me that everyone I meet feels seen, supported, and part of something meaningful.
I’m Doc—a tricolored Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a calm heart, big ears, and an even bigger love for people. My job is to help clients feel at ease, whether they’re nervous about starting therapy or just need a little extra comfort. I specialize in quiet companionship, gentle curiosity, and perfectly timed tail wags. You can usually find me curled up near Dr. Mel or offering soft support to those who need it most.
I was trained locally by a skilled dog trainer who helped me learn how to support clients of all ages with confidence and calm.
When I’m off duty, you’ll find me living the good life: cruising in the car, running around imagining I can catch a squirrel, or snuggled up at home. I never turn down a belly rub or a new friend—and I believe everyone deserves a gentle welcome and a warm place to land.
