Therapists in Durham County, NC

Loving someone with a substance problem can be agony. Frustration, arguing, isolation, guilt, blame, worry, hopelessness, fury–in a word, suffering–have eclipsed normal and everyday enjoyment. You may be desperate. You may be afraid that nothing will help. You just want it to stop. You don’t know if you should stay or if you should leave. You don’t know if you’re helping or making things worse. You can’t stand fighting and feeling mad all the time. Folks are telling you to give “tough love,” to “detach,” threaten, punish, give ultimatums, or “just” leave. You feel alone, misunderstood, and change seems like it will never come.

I don't know Where the Boys Are (movie) but I DO know where the Men are..in my office! Men are an underserved, misunderstood, and often villainized group. Most want to be the best versions of themselves and accomplish this through therapy. I strive to provide an accepting, nonjudgmental, safe space to unravel the mysteries of self. My sense of humor, practical approach, appreciation for direct comments, and an athletic background make me a good match for this population. I can mirror what you can expect from a healthy female in your life. Men suffer from abuse, poor boundaries, communication traps, and societal pressures.

I am a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist with 8 years of experience. I have worked with individuals at every stage of their addiction, including clients having difficulty recognizing they have a problem, knowing they have a problem but being unsure if they want to do something about it, actively making steps towards recovery, and being in recovery. I also have experience working with clients that use substances to cope with their anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, and life changes (such as becoming a new parent, getting a new job, and losing a loved one).

It has been pointed out to me by clients, colleagues, family and friends that they find it easy to talk to me.
