Schedule 

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.

Relationships Matter. And So Does Getting the Help Right.

Prefer to reach out directly?

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