Service introduction
I'm part of Breyta Psychological Services, Raleigh's premier trauma-informed psychology clinic. I work with you and/or your partner to explore the specific needs you have, the goals you want to reach, and the things you want to heal from in the past. Together, we craft a clear plan to help you get back on track and feel empowered to live in a way that is fulfilling and meaningful. By healing and thriving, you're creating the best version of yourself and ultimately the best partner and best parent you can be. I have in-depth training in women's health, reproductive health, and perinatal mood disorders, combined with expertise in evidence-based psychotherapy. My hope is to help you life a life you envision. Let's get started today.
