Even Still, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD

Durham, NC 27705 (Online Only)
Even in the middle of trauma, heartbreak, and uncertainty, still you can find joy. Even Still was born out of my deeply held belief that following the toughest moments of life, a comma lingers. A comma that signals the story is not over and there is light to be found in the darkness. Consistent with the writings of psychologist Carl Rogers, I believe in the resilience of humanity. As a psychologist, it is my responsibility and deepest pleasure to be your guide in self-discovery and healing. I believe that by being genuine, empathic, and providing unconditional warmth and acceptance, I can create space for vulnerability and growth.

My approach as a therapist is relational. I see therapy as a chance to connect with another human in a protected relationship that allows for greater openness and honesty. In the safety of our relationship, I challenge my clients so that we get beneath the surface to develop new insights, find greater meaning, and deeper connection. I specialize in work with men, those experiencing relationship issues, divorce, life transitions, and struggling with addictive behaviors.

Do you find yourself entangled in self-blame or the weight of unresolved trauma? Do you feel yourself longing for more progress in therapy? Do you expect the worst even in moments of calm or stability? My approach focuses on trust-building and helping you safely enter a place of genuinely processing your emotions instead of avoiding, ruminating, or judging yourself about your emotions. Together we'll work towards harmony—aligning your thoughts and your emotions, releasing the grip of the past, and embracing the possibility of the present: That you are safe now, that you have power, that you are loved, and that you are enough.

Doing psychotherapy is a lot like playing jazz: The challenge for me as therapist is to stay in tune with the patient's own creative, self-healing process and to provide a safe container ("rhythm section"). The patient's life narratives are the "melodies" to be composed, developed, & improvised. My ideal patient is motivated to show up and do the work involved in creating/healing and to allow the therapeutic relationship to support the work. My private practice (The Androgyny Center) serves adult patients of all genders. I also do consultations with families and professionals regarding developmental issues re gender and sexual orientation.

Deciding you need therapy can be a tough process. I believe the counseling relationship should be one where you and I form real connection- and that connection is where the foundation of healing can begin. I aim to create a supportive space to partner with clients in their healing process. I am rostered in a variety of evidence-based trauma and grief treatments for youth and adults, and I love to include mindfulness, self-compassion, and humor into treatment. My training in attachment work and years collaborating with foster/adoptive families help me support folks in a variety of constellations.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to accept new clients at this time. Please check back later. My specialty is helping young adult women navigate the changes and challenges of their 20's and 30's. My approach to therapy is warm and supportive to help you clarify your goals, identify strengths, develop new skills, and collaborate on a path forward. I often work with clients around anxiety, depression, perfectionism, identity development, life transitions, pregnancy, parenting, & communication. I believe therapy is successful when unhelpful patterns are replaced with new thoughts/behaviors that lead to empowered and intentional growth.

I offer clients a collaborative approach to address whatever may have brought them to my door. My relationally focused psychodynamic style supports the idea that healing occurs through our connection with others. By providing a safe and solid therapeutic relationship to a person, that person begins to experience a greater range of perspective regarding their own life and the lives around them. With increased self-awareness, individuals are able to recognize that they have more choices in their lives. I have found this to be true regardless of what obstacles a person may be facing.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
