Couples Counseling Therapists in Durham, NC

I help clients walk the pathway back to emotional well-being and secure relationships, all while feeling supported and affirmed. Through the 15+ years of experience as a therapist, I provide state of the art therapy for couples , individuals and families, tailored to the situations and needs of clients. Depression, loneliness, divorce, frustration and despair isn't inevitable. Security with yourself and stable relationships with others are possible with help.

You are at your threshold and something has to give. Maybe you have been struggling for years, or maybe you have new stress that feels unmanageable. You've tried changing your diet, journaling, talking it out, and nothing seems to change. It may seem as though things will never be different in your life or your relationship. But, after years of experience working with others just like you, here is the truth: lasting change is possible. My clients come to me because they want a shift and are seeking support as they turn onto a new path. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, using a goal-oriented, intentional approach.

Sometimes life creates change when we aren't ready. You may find that life transitions have left you feeling differently than you expected, or you're discovering things about yourself that you aren't sure what to do with. Sometimes loved ones change in ways that challenge us, and sometimes we grow and hope our loved ones will grow with us. Sometimes LGBTQIA+ identities have specific needs, particularly for couples and families adjusting to newly expressed identities and searching for a healthy, supportive dynamic. Unfortunately, coping with these unexpected changes usually isn't a smooth, easy, or pretty process.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Sometimes, life can throw a lot at you. It can be overwhelming and seem impossible to work through a myriad of complex feelings. Therapy can be the place for you to explore your feelings in a safe, nonjudgmental, productive way. From stress management to anxiety- from complex trauma to coping skills development, I am committed to partnering with you and reaching your personal goals. Life can be draining and we subconsciously shift into survival mode just to make it through the day. Together, we will work to process your experiences and figure out what it looks like for you to not just survive- but thrive.

I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. People's reasons for seeking therapy are as varied as the individuals themselves. For some, therapy is part of a broader approach to life in which insight and inner work are seen as core elements to living well and expansively. For others, the step to seek therapy is taken out of pain and suffering and after much deliberation. At times our internal experiences are so painful, they prevent us from fully engaging in our lives and relationships. Therapy can help you learn to hold with care and confidence all your thoughts, feelings and memories while moving through life in a meaningful way.
