Female Therapists in Durham, NC

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.

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.

So often we can feel stuck, especially in relationships - friendships, romantic relationships, or with family members.
