Dr. French sees adults and couples, diverse in ethnicity, religious identification, social class, gender, and sexuality. She collaborates with men and women interested in cultivating curiosity about their experience of themselves (mind and body) and desiring deeper felt connections with others. Periods of transition (beginnings and endings) are prime opportunities to invest in your mind health.

Existential coaching brings the practices of mindfulness, movement, body awareness, sensation mapping, mind-body integration, and education. Combined with Existential-Humanistic therapy, positive, identifiable and sustainable shifts can occur much more quickly because this combination works from the top down (therapy) and the bottom up (mindfulness, movement, etc) and is, therefore, inclusive of the total experience of being human.

A candidate at the Psychoanalytic Center of the Carolinas in Chapel Hill, Dr. Boyce has a deep appreciation of the complexities of the mind as well as the impact of early experiences and relationships. Psychodynamic and psychoanalytic theories offer a comprehensive understanding of human nature. As opposed to other models that try to solve a particular problem or target symptoms, psychoanalysis gets to the heart of the matter. Dr. Boyce provides therapy that addresses the whole person, helping the individual to develop inner capacities that can improve relationships as well as foster a richer, more meaningful life.

My approach to wellness is holistic and considers not just what may be happening in your own life but how the relationships with those you love and others around may be impacting you. Even when working with individuals, I believe it’s important to understand the impact of the interactions between you and others. During my career as a therapist, I have worked with people in many different circumstances: couples seeking premarital or relationship counseling, medical patients experiencing chronic pain or illness, families of adolescents in the juvenile justice system, and people seeking personal growth, or empowerment.

Are you struggling with either personal or relationship difficulties? If so, I would like to help. When combined with hard work, professional counseling can help you overcome almost any problem.

I am a fully licensed therapist and offer research-based psychotherapy services. I am a LGBT+-affirming therapist and I work with couples, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds.

There are times in which the capacity to tap into our innate wisdom and inner resources to understand, manage, and resolve internal or external conflict is difficult. We can't seem to make the changes we want or imagine for ourselves and may feel limited, stuck, and not quite our self. This internal or external conflict/distress may show up in our relationships, or as anxiety, insecurity, depression, compulsive or addictive behaviors, and other patterns. It is during these times that the process of therapy can be a help.
