I'm Roni — a relational counselor working with couples and individuals across North Carolina who are ready for something more precise than surface-level support.
My work is structured, thoughtful, and deeply relational. I don't treat every relationship struggle the same way, because every relationship struggle isn't the same. Some pain needs emotional repair. Some pain needs accountability, clarity, and real acknowledgment. Knowing the difference is what helps the work move.
My doctoral research at NC State University focuses on relational injury and repair — work that directly informs how I understand and treat relational wounds in the therapy room.
For partners stuck, disconnected, or ready to build a stronger, more intentional relationship.
For couples navigating broken trust, uncertainty, and question whether repair is possible.
For couples navigating the relational shift before and after baby arrives.
For couples who want to build something strong from the beginning.
For individuals ready to understand their patterns, strengthen self-trust, and relate with more clarity.

Every relationship struggle is not the same. The kind of injury matters.
My doctoral research at NC State University focuses on relational injury and repair and shapes the way I work with clients.
Sessions are focused, intentional, and moving somewhere.
The goal is relational clarity that outlasts our work together.

Some wounds do not need more advice. They need to be seen clearly, held honestly and repaired with care.
