Spirituality Therapists in Durham, NC

I invite you to pause and to breathe deeply. Allow yourself the space to feel your emotions and to listen to your thoughts. What do you want out of therapy? What do you want for your relationships? What do you need through your vocation? What do you want out of life? Therapy will help you to connect more deeply and honestly with yourself, so that you can answer these questions sincerely, and become more free to engage in authentic living. Give me a call or an email so we can schedule an introductory session and discuss what it is that you are pursuing.

What do I do for a living? I meet with people and talk about the most intimate aspect of their lives. It's not a bad job and I love the work I get to do. While I often draw from a variety of psychological techniques, I am firmly rooted in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic theory which is a really fancy way of saying I believe authentic relationships bring about sincere change in people. As such, I work hard to create a trusting, comfortable space to help clients explore their goals and experience sincere growth.

We enjoy working with clients who seek to engage their spiritual questions and challenges in the midst of the therapeutic journey. Our clients come from a variety of life histories and family backgrounds, but share in common a desire to discover a more hopeful perspective on life, while exercising specific skills and practices to make hope concrete on a daily basis. Our therapists are accustomed to mutual collaboration to serve the needs of children, adolescents, and their families in one setting.

You deserve to live an authentic life. Because you are here exploring therapy, you are being called to take the courageous journey within your inner realms to transform the trauma & pain that holds you back from living a more fulfilling and heart-centered life. Therapy can support you in creating a life that truly embodies the words of Maya Angelou because you deserve “..not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” Intentions set in therapy often focus on improving self-regulation, strengthening one’s sense of self, & enhancing one’s overall state of well-being.

*My Practice is currently full.* I began a search over 20 years ago that allowed me to experience healing in ways that honor the entire human being -not just the mind. My approach is one that honors each client's strengths and path towards wholeness. I empower clients towards their own self-healing. My work is integrative - utilizing mindfulness and inviting the soul/spirit, mind & body to drive the process of therapy. I specialize in non-pathologizing therapies. I strive to create an atmosphere of safety first and foremost. I feel that spirituality is an integral part of the healing process.

Life can be difficult. We all face challenges, whether it's dealing with a difficult situation at work, going through a tough break-up, or coping with the death of a loved one. It can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when we're facing these challenges. But there is help available. I’m dedicated to assisting you with your life goals and helping you find a healthy way to process your past traumas to live out your best future. By utilizing an eclectic approach to therapy, I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where I can collaborate to help you reach your desired goals.

I am a clinical psychologist. I am available for individual, couples, and family therapy. My preference is to work with adolescents and older clients. I am culturally competent and have had great success working with clients regardless of background or lifestyle orientation. I am also comfortable addressing issues of spirituality , identity formation, and self-actualization.

I work with adults and college students who are curious and interested in learning about themselves, fostering healthier relationships and becoming more emotionally present. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important piece to our work together and I am always honored to hear another's story and offer support on their path to living a healthier, happier life. I have experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, spirituality , relationship/family conflict, depression, grief/loss and those who have recently experienced a significant life transition.

I believe that good counseling, beginning with a natural fit between client and therapist, can be one of the most important and beneficial experiences of our lives. I am passionate about working with my clients and strive always to bring my natural compassion and creativity to each session. I find I am most helpful to clients struggling with loss, grief, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues, though I help clients work through other issues as well. Because I am trained in theology as well as psychotherapy, I bring a unique understanding of faith and spirituality to my practice, welcoming clients from any (or no) faith tradition.

Hello Prospective Client. I welcome you to the process of Talk Therapy. I have invested considerable time, from both my studies and life experiences, to have the opportunity to sit with you. As a Licensed Psychologist, my job is to help you discover the hidden parts of yourself, both the pleasant and even the unpleasant (which can sometimes be the most meaningful). I have helped a diverse group of people of varying ages and life experiences.

TELEHEALTH ONLY. First, I want to say hello and acknowledge the strength, courage and determination it takes to seek help. Therapy can be an enriching, powerful journey. People come to therapy because they want something to change and they want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. Therapy can also be uncomfortable and hard work. Experience has taught me that human beings possess the most amazing resilience, strength, and capacity to heal no matter what challenges they have faced in life. I work to build on these strengths to help people achieve the changes that they want in life.

Therapy is an opportunity to help people diminish pain, cope with challenges, and gain support through adverse experiences. Additionally, it challenges personal growth through insight development, compassion and attentiveness. I have 14 years of experience in a variety of therapeutic settings that have equipped me especially in areas of relational dynamics, leadership and identity development. I often work with individuals struggling to align their beliefs and values with the people around them; whether that's the family, workplace or a faith institution.

*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.

Life has so many struggles, problems and transitions and it often feels difficult to cope. I believe we all have the capacity to bring about change; as a therapist I guide and support my client toward growth and healing. I help you to explore your feelings to build self awareness and insight regarding your personal concerns. I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults.

Are you looking for a safe place to discuss what matters most to you? Family, work, relationships, health, transitions, grief, loss, children, trauma, life purpose, letting go of past hurts. I love assisting individuals and couples with relationship skills, communication issues, changing self defeating patterns, healing pain (physical and emotional), and learning to be one's best self across settings. I work with children and families in our ever changing world to improve relationships, performance, self awareness, mood, behavior. I bring my many years of experience working with young and old alike to this passionate pursuit of balanced living.

I provide a space for clients to explore their questions, hopes and fears in a non-judgmental environment. I have experience treating children, adolescents and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings facing a wide range of diagnoses and difficulties including anxiety, depression, ADHD, women's issues, grief and loss, parenting struggles, and life transitions. I operate from a psychodynamic perspective, using the therapist-client relationship as an agent for change. I also incorporate cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, play therapy, and structural family therapy approaches as needed.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsatisfied in life? I would be honored to walk with you and help you grow! I provide counseling to adults using a collaborative approach to therapy that values each client's unique strengths, interests, and goals. I have experience counseling clients across a wide range of presenting issues but particularly enjoy working with grief & loss, anxiety, trauma & PTSD, life transitions, mild-to-moderate depression, career/vocational concerns, spirituality , and relationship issues.
