I have experience working with children and adolescents.
Being a human is hard sometimes. Life throws all sorts of challenges your way, and it can be difficult to manage things on your own. You may feel disconnected from support systems, or in need of a safe space to express yourself. Hopefully therapy can be a place to process, heal, build upon your strengths, and help get to a place where life feels back on track. I have experience supporting clients with ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, Autism Spectrum disorder, self-exploration, self-esteem, relationship issues and other life stressors. I also have experience working with individuals from various cultural backgrounds.

Working with children helps me understand where adult issues originate; working with adults helps me project where a child's behavior is leading.
I work with individuals and couples, as well as children, in both DC and Chapel Hill. I do best with adults who are educated or reflective: many are scientists, artists, health and business professionals, or psychotherapists, and some are not pursuing conventional achievement.Some see me for family or work problems, some for help dealing with a chronic health issue or a loss, some to change longstanding emotional and interpersonal patterns involving anxiety, anger, or intimacy. We may try quick and simple approaches first, because sometimes they work, but if not we can go more deeply into the individual's unique personal narrative.

Anxiety allows living things to survive by providing a fast and forceful response to threat in the environment, either physical or emotional. But at times, these responses become dysfunctional and anxiety reeks havoc on the very values and relationships we live for. It benefits us to distinguish between responses that are helpful vs unhelpful or destructive. It’s valuable, to take time to explore which direction you truly need to move. All humans need help at times with perspective. Talking with a professional therapist can treat maladaptive stress, build productive insight and foster emotional maturity in self and in relationship.

I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, creative, evidence-based, results-oriented, flexible, and holistic. People often arrive at psychotherapy when they want to deal with problems, alleviate emotional suffering, make a change, move in a new direction, or find well-being. I try to balance acceptance and change, acknowledging that the first step towards change is accepting reality. I think the therapeutic relationship needs to be a real and genuine connection. I value being kind, genuine, thoughtful, direct, honest, and playful as a person and a therapist.

Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.

My passion lies in creating a safe space for children, parents and caregivers, and individual people to work on and through dysfunctional behavior patterns, emotional dysregulation, and traumatic experiences.
I was once a young person sitting in a therapist's office and I found the experience to be stale, impersonal, and hurried. As a direct reaction, I am passionate about creating an environment that is fun, goofy, creative, interactive, and YOU-centered. While you are here, no matter your age or what we are working through, we can play games, read books, and make art. We'll learn somatic techniques; we'll create resources that are tailored to your needs; and we will work together to figure it (whatever "it" is) out.

I have experience working with children/adolescents in various settings (Outpatient Therapy, Day Treatment), Group Homes as well as Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF).
It takes a lot of courage to seek help due to the stigmas that are often associated with receiving counseling services and getting assistance with your mental health. I applaud you for taking the first step! I have had the opportunity to work a diverse group of individuals over the course of the past 15 years. One of the most important things I’ve learned is that there is no cookie-cutter, one size fits all approach to counseling. I prefer to get to know you as an individual, and not just categorizing or summing you up based on the challenges or behaviors that you’re currently facing or challenged with.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Durham, NC provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Durham build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
