Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Durham, NC
A foundational quote for my work as well as my life has been “Be kind for everyone is facing a hard battle.” One’s battle could be feeling alone even when surrounded by people, trying to manage countless life stressors, or struggling to overcome addiction amongst others. Meeting you where you are at and seeing past your symptoms to who you are as a person is central to who I am as a counselor. Within your battle, I strive to compassionately assist you in recognizing the strengths that you have within yourself to cope.

Struggling to reach your goals? Suffering emotionally and searching for relief? Have habits that you don’t like? Are you having a hard time finding hope and a reason to carry on?
I’ll address that last one first: I can tell you that yes! There is hope. Sometimes hope hard to see. My job is to bring that hope back into view for you. I can’t give 100% guarantees, but I have a lot of evidence that therapy can help relieve depression and anxiety. I would be happy to discuss this evidence and how it can apply to you!
You deserve someone in your corner who will listen carefully, and understand your feelings.

There comes a point when the weight of the accumulated hurt becomes unbearable. So many of them are likely not even yours to bare, but forming yourself to them may have even helped keep you safe. So, now that you're here, what do you want to put down? What do you want to make space for in your daily life after the loud chaos of the past is brought down to size?
Challenging our old ways of living, and struggling in the world is hard. Figuring out the best way forward can also feel daunting. You can have a life that feels in balance, where you have room for softness for yourself and others, and you don't have to do it alone.

I have over 18 years of experience helping adults, teens, and children learn to adaptively navigate their challenges and distress and better understand themselves.
Often you or your children experiencing distress and/or wanting to better understand yourself and your relationships with others and your environment are the driving forces behind seeking out therapy. I am a firm believer that each client is unique and seek to gain in-depth understanding of their life and experiences and how that impacts current difficulties. Using an integrated approach, I believe in the role of a strong therapeutic relationship, working collaboratively with you (or your child) to understand concerns, identify goals, and develop skills and knowledge leading to more adaptive functioning and improved quality of life.

I work with children (6+), teens, and adults who feel overwhelmed, maybe emotionally tapped out, or stuck in patterns they’re ready to break.
My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, creating a safe space to explore challenges while building tools to manage emotions, reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and foster growth. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change that supports healing and resilience.

I enjoy walking alongside older children, adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, (including pornography addictions) and marriage crises.
Successful counseling is founded on a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. In order to build trust, I take time to learn your unique personality, context, and culture. I believe each person is a emotional, social, physical and spiritual being. Thus, I evaluate presenting issues from each of these domains.

Accepting New Clients as of 7/22/26... In our work together, I aim to create a safe, grounded space where vulnerable emotions and difficult conversations can unfold at your pace, and where your growth—both subtle and significant—is celebrated. Therapy is a place to slow down, make sense of what’s been lost or changed, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may feel distant. I believe meaningful therapy grows from openness, curiosity, and a shared commitment to honest reflection over time. I work predominantly with young adults and adults (18–40) navigating life transitions, grief, and loss—both tangible and ambiguous.

My ideal client is someone who feels anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected—especially after a major loss, trauma, or big life transition. They may be navigating relationship struggles, parenting stress, identity exploration, body image concerns, neurodivergence, or the challenges of disability or chronic illness. At their core, they want to feel grounded again, to reconnect with themselves, and to move through life with more clarity, ease, and confidence.
