Struggling with self-criticism, a life out-of-balance, or the past taking up too much of your present can feel lonely. Often the coping strategies that helped us survive can develop into problems themselves and figuring out the best way forward can feel overwhelming. I am honored to work alongside individuals as they discover their inner strengths and develop new, effective strategies to experience and navigate life. I work to foster self-compassion and self-worth in my practice.

I work individually with adult women of all ages. My goal is to support the whole person by encouraging use of her strengths to discover new possibilities in life, and to identify and question thoughts and behaviors that aren't helping her move in a positive direction. Acknowledging the past yet focusing on the present, we collaborate to build resilience and flexibility for facing life's challenges: maintaining healthy relationships, dealing with life changes, illness and loss, work stresses, as well as conditions like anxiety and depression.

I believe we all have an innate wisdom and strength to grow from life's challenges and heal from painful experiences. The key lies in learning from our experiences, both past and present, and letting that acquired knowledge guide our futures. Therapy is your journey. It's my honor and privilege, as your therapist, to walk alongside you and help you process your story- creating room for insight, forgiveness, healing, and growth. I specialize in helping people build healthy relationships, overcome trauma, live well with chronic illnesses, and move through life transitions.

Do you feel safe being who you really are? If you have a marginalized identity or belong to more than one culture, it can be challenging to reconcile who you are with others' expectations of who you should be. Or maybe you usually handle things fine but you've been derailed by a change in your job, health or relationships. To get back on track, you need something that really works for you. Or you've been giving so much to others it feels like there’s nothing left, and self-care is just another item on your To Do list. I get it. I've been there, and what I've learned along the way just might help you too.

Do you find yourself yearning for more? If you're having trouble seeing past your never-ending to-do list and have put your dreams on hold, you're not alone. For nearly 3 years now, many of us have struggled with the relentless pressure that comes from being a partner, a parent, an employee, and/or a student in this brave new world. Whether you're experiencing anxiety or depression, looking to explore family-of-origin issues or past trauma, or want to improve current relationships, I can help. My speciality is adult ADHD and I'm particularly interested in the intersection of neurodiversity + parenting.

Loneliness is the worst. Isolation shows up in many forms, including shame, stress, mistrust, and unproductive conflict. People grow and heal in the context of secure relationships, and I aim to help clients create and sustain them. It's my pleasure to work with couples, partnerships and individuals who are experiencing distress, coping with trauma, or struggling with identity development.

My clients reach out because they need support during a time of transition, are struggling with anxiety or depression, or want to address past traumas. I work with teens, adults and kids to help them cope with stress and respond to suffering. My clients report relief at being able to express themselves freely and feel seen. They enjoy the opportunity to use creative arts in the therapy space, especially as the arts are uniquely positioned to respond to trauma. No art experience is necessary to benefit from expressive arts therapy. If you're open, and if you've ever used a crayon or listened to music, that's all you need.

Struggling with worry, anxiety, or feeling hopeless? Going through significant life transitions? Ready to make changes because life just cannot continue on its current path? Maybe you’ve been struggling to make family or you’re finding parenthood is not what you always dreamed. Perhaps you need to feel less alone as you process fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, or postpartum depression/anxiety. My clients report feeling less stressed, less anxious, and less negatively impacted by trauma because they are equipped with skills to unhook from negative feedback loops that are leaving them feeling stuck.

Everyone gets “stuck” in harmful patterns of thought, attention, behavior, and emotions sometimes. Working together can help you learn to slow down, see with more acceptance, curiosity, and compassion, and adopt new ways of being which support greater aliveness, connectedness, and purpose. I approach therapy with a warm and collaborative attitude, holding a strong belief in your strengths, potential, and innate wisdom.

I've always wanted to incorporate animals into therapeutic activities. My family has 4 dogs and 2 cats, all rescues and I’ve volunteered with APS of Durham for over 10 years. Animal assisted therapy is generally done with the therapist's personal animal. My pre-Covid sessions were typically in home with you and your pet, developing more connection and emotional support. I’ve had to move to telehealth and with a small practice and limited in taking on many new clients. I am able to schedule weekdays or evenings. I try to keep personal life balance but also be available and flexible to support you when you need.

*I AM NOT CURENTLY TAKING NEW CLIENTS* I have a relational approach to therapy and my work is informed by psychodynamic theories. I believe that long-term growth and change become a reality when we are able to make informed choices and discover greater authenticity in our daily lives. I believe that you can find immediate relief from some of your distress by using mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I have experience working with groups and individuals with mood and anxiety difficulties, personality disorders, histories of violence or trauma, and anger management difficulties.

What type of Durham mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
