Hi! I'm Lois, a licensed therapist with a passion for helping people feel better so they can live more fulfilling lives. I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence and direction.
I truly believe that people and relationships can recover, grow, and thrive through therapy. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way and create meaningful changes that last. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood.
I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches depending on your specific needs. My approach is always collaborative and focused on introspection and skill building. I use a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and mindfulness.
I have worked in the field of mental health for 14 years, it has always been my passion. I have been a licensed therapist for 5 years. I have experience working with a variety of people and issues in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked with severe and persistent mental health disorders, but my current focuses are relationship and family issues, life stressors (like work, school and finances), depression and anxiety.
I am licensed in NC. I currently work with individuals and couples, adults only.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
