Anxiety Therapy in Raleigh, NC
With Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and a Solution-Focused approach, I help teens and adults in North Carolina who are struggling with anxiety, overthinking, phobias, and panic attacks, so they can stop feeling weighed down by their anxiety and start feeling true relief from the guilt, worry, and exhaustion.
When your mind won't slow down and true rest feels impossible.

You Don't Have To Keep Structuring Your Life Around Your Fear
If you’re constantly overthinking, bracing for the next panic attack, or avoiding situations that once felt easy, you may look
“high-functioning” on the outside while feeling exhausted on the inside.
Anxiety can quietly shape your decisions, relationships, and confidence — leaving you weighed down by guilt, worry, and the pressure to keep it together.
I work with teens and adults across North Carolina who are ready for more than temporary coping tools. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a Solution-Focused approach, we target both the immediate symptoms — like panic spikes and intrusive thoughts — and the deeper patterns that keep anxiety in control.
The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety completely, it’s to help you feel steady, capable, and in control again.
Tools for real life. Support that actually works.
My approach is designed to equip you with practical tools you can use outside of therapy. I'll help you feel empowered using these therapy modalities...
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) -
A practical, goal-oriented approach that builds on what’s already working. We focus on your strengths and small, meaningful steps that create real change and momentum.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) -
Learn how to quiet the struggle with anxious thoughts and reconnect with what matters most. ACT helps you respond with flexibility, compassion, and intention instead of fear.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) -
Understand how your thoughts shape your emotions and behaviors. CBT helps you break cycles of overthinking and replace self-doubt with clarity and confidence.
Care. Curiosity. Consistency.
Working with me feels grounded, collaborative, and personalized for you. Sessions are a mix of real conversation and gentle structure — space to slow down, be honest, and make sense of what you’re carrying, without pressure to perform or “fix” yourself.
I bring a steady, calm presence and we move at your pace. Some sessions may feel reflective and spacious; others more focused and practical. Together, we’ll pay close attention to what’s coming up for you in the moment, adjusting as needed so the work feels supportive, respectful, and aligned with where you are.
This is not a rushed or one-size-fits-all process. It’s a collaborative unfolding, where you’re met with care, curiosity, and consistency — and where change happens in a way that feels sustainable, not forced.
"A space where you can show up exactly as you are."

The Cost of Staying Stuck is Often Far Greater Than The Cost of Change
Unlike many temporary expenses, the skills and confidence you build in therapy compound over a lifetime.
Invest in yourself and imagine how different your life could be if you were...
Making decisions without obsessing over how everyone will react
Completing projects without crippling self-criticism
Resting without feeling lazy
Trusting your voice in hard conversations
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of therapy are offered at Compass and Light Counseling?
I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. Together, we’ll find the approaches that work best for you. If something doesn’t feel like the right fit, we’ll collaborate to adjust and create a therapy experience that supports your goals and growth.
Do you take insurance?
We’re a private-pay practice, which means we don’t bill insurance directly. This gives you more freedom and privacy in your care. We can provide a superbill if you want to seek out-of-network reimbursement, and we accept HSA/FSA cards.
Do you offer virtual therapy?
Yes! We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual therapy for individuals and couples throughout North Carolina. Whether you're in Raleigh or anywhere else in the state, we make therapy convenient and accessible.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
Finding the right therapist is about more than just credentials, it’s about how you feel talking with them- even when the work gets hard. I offer a free 15-minute consult to give you a glimpse of what working together could be like. You can also explore my 'about me' page to get a feel for my therapeutic style and approach.
