For decades, I've helped people find new paths through their life challenges. By developing a deep client relationship, applying complementary therapeutic approaches, my goal is to help YOU uncover your true potential and power to live a life you enjoy. Do you doubt that is possible? Therapy may consist of practicing skills related to social and emotional learning and learning how your beliefs about life effect everything. Uncovering and navigating your life stories - telling those stories over and over - of depression, trauma, anxiety, loss, and stress helps YOU figure out YOUR path. Want to try?

Treatment specialization targets: Anxiety/Stress, Mood Challenges, Cognitive Behavioral analysis, Mindfulness skill development, Grief and Bereavement Guide, Parenting Coach, Existential and Spiritual Crisis, Dementia Specialist, Aging Guide, Highly Sensitive Person allied, LGBTQIA allied.

My location is easily accessed from I-40, between Chapel Hill and Durham. I am open, informal, respectful of YOUR life, experienced, creative, deeply influenced by art, thinkers, beauty, and the ever shifting journey of life. I am LGBTQIA affirming and open to all faiths (including none), genders and races. Highly Sensitive Person specialist.

In a college town and a retirement town my specialties focus on transitions. I have much training and experience in young adult issues and the challenges older folks face. From first time away from home to the physical, cognitive, and social changes of aging, I want to hear you and see if I can help. Loss is an unavoidable aspect of life. We all experience it. It helps to tell tell your story.

I am a relationally focused therapist. I am a strong believer that it is our stories we tell ourselves and our believes that are the lens through which we see life. In therapy, we will explore, repeatedly if needed, your stories, your beliefs about your life and others lives to see if we can find a way to make what you tell yourself about yourself and your life become more helpful to you.
