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 aim 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.

Are you struggling in your relationship? Feeling like things just aren't clicking the way they used to?

Anxiety, stress, and sadness are a normal part of life, but when these feelings start to take over and inhabit multiple area's of life in a profoundly negative way, something needs to change. You're tired of people telling you it will get better, but with no real support of how.

You're worried it's something you've done and are not sure how to grow or change.

Does life feel overwhelming at times? Do your relationships feel distant or too complicated? I strive to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment to help clients heal and participate more deeply in relationships and life. I work with clients to help them get in touch with and process difficult emotions, feel more empowered, and create more meaningful relationships. Most of us want to experience closer, more intimate, relationships but have a hard time making that happen.

You’re no stranger to achievement. You graduated near the top of your class, carved out a successful career for yourself, and continue to kill it in your professional life. Problem is, when you feel so anxious and unsure of yourself, it’s hard to enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to create. You struggle to build meaningful relationships because you can never relax enough to be the real you around others. Your work suffers because you’re constantly worrying that others are secretly judging you. And though you’ve practically perfected the art of hiding your distress from others, it leaves you feeling utterly exhausted and alone.

Welcome! I specialize in helping folks to address complex trauma, problems in relationships, and building self-esteem and authenticity in life. It is completely natural to struggle and experience difficulties. Sometimes these difficulties come from experiencing traumatic events, managing difficult relationships, and even feeling as if we do not know ourselves and what we really want out of life. If you are having problems in relationships, with self- esteem, or just managing life stress, counseling can help.

Hello! Is your life feeling out of balance? Are there things that are happening that feel a bit tough to handle? Are you unsatisfied with some aspect of your life? Do you have trouble communicating in your relationships within your life? Are there specific things you are doing that you are having trouble stopping? If you were to stop these behaviors and patterns, do you feel life would be easier? If you find yourself saying yes to any of these questions, let's look at the answers. They can help us to create some room to navigate new approaches to same old things, empowering you to be open and ready for change.

The modern world is a stressful place with a mountain of expectations and fewer paths available to fulfill them than ever before. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, left out, anxious or depressed. Often they have a sense of being stuck and not knowing how to move forward. Ultimately what my clients want is to be “happy”. What I find on a more practical level is that this often means they want to be more engaged and content with their life and feel like they are making progress.

Everyone's journey is unique and quite personal. I strive to honor your journey and the path that you are on. I am merely a guide helping you along the way. I seek to develop a trusting, authentic relationship in which you can explore, grow, improve relationships and make desired life changes. Clients often come into my office feeling overwhelmed and not sure exactly where to start. I take a holistic approach in helping you navigate life through optimal emotional health and wellness. This means that I often use a blend of therapy modalities to meet your needs.

Anxiety takes various forms-tension, sleeplessness, or racing thoughts. If these signs disrupt your life and hinder your ability to enjoy daily activities, it’s crucial to recognize that you don’t have to face it alone. Anxiety is not always a bad thing. It is our bodies natural reaction to the environment around us. We do not face the same dangers that we did thousands of years ago, but we still have the same alert system. For some people, this reaction is far stronger than what the situation calls for. By acknowledging and addressing anxiety’s impact, you’re taking a proactive step towards self-discovery and empowerment.

There are many important reasons why people choose to pursue therapy, yet all are driven to accomplish lasting change and satisfaction in their lives. Every person starts from a different place. Some come suffering, unfulfilled, or anxious. Some yearn for a discovery of meaning, wholeness, or personal growth. Often, people seek to become free of old patterns, achieve closer and more satisfying relationships, or find ways to just get unstuck. Wherever they find themselves, I am dedicated to helping my clients get to the heart of what troubles them so they can be free to live richer, more satisfying lives.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, difficult life experiences and transitions, interpersonal and identity issues, grief and loss, and occupational performance. For many people, the idea of reaching out for help takes a lot of courage. It takes strength and trust to share personal thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a new person. Clients have given me feedback that my style — authentic, honest, accepting, informal, and good-humored — helps to reduce the nervousness they feel when entering counseling, and builds the trust needed for our therapy.

Taking new clients - It is my privilege to work with individuals who courageously look for hope. I seek to embark with clients on gentle heroic journeys toward change, and finding rest so old wounds might become scars of life to empower a stronger sense of self and a more hopeful future. I provide trained and experienced professional services with a warm, calm, compassionate presence as I assist individuals and couples. I join with individuals whose lives are interrupted by anger, perfectionism, loss, life stage or career changes, health concerns, intrusive thoughts, behaviors, or betrayal injury, on first or next steps.

When certain parts of our life feel out of control, it creates stress that impacts other areas of our life. Seeking help can feel like a chore. Not only do you have to find a therapist that feels like a good fit, but you have to tell your story to a stranger. I know all of this, and I want to make it feel easy, productive, and worth your time. I enjoy helping all people, but some of my refined interests include traumatic stress, attachment injuries, SUD's, and life transitions. I can help adults, teens, kids, couples and families. In my work with teens, I have interest and experience in helping adoptees and transnational adoptees.
