My clients say that I am comfortable to talk to and easy to get to know.

Are you or your child feeling overwhelmed by life? Is your child disinterested or struggling in school? Do you feel misunderstood or struggle to to fit in? As a therapist with many years of experience as a school psychologist and special education teacher, I bring a unique perspective to problem solving. Personally navigating life with ADHD adds an additional layer of insight, compassion, and creativity! I can help you better understand your or your child’s challenges and needs, and find ways to address them. I would be honored to walk with you as you tackle the rough spots in your life and move more confidently towards your goals.

Wondering what is next? How you got where you are? Who you are? Afraid you've missed opportunities or what you hoped for is passing by? I work with people looking for authenticity and fulfillment, offering a chance to question openly and explore who you are and what you really love. Understanding the inevitability of change and how to navigate through sometimes unthinkable circumstances can feel overwhelming. I love working together with clients to help them understand and manage these deep emotions--and to realize that they do have the courage to face what is ahead and the ability to manage their own lives.

As a therapist, I see myself as a guide and partner in each client’s journey of discovery. Insights along the way come from hard work and trying something new. What courage that takes! Therapy opens the door to opportunity, the promised land of a new life through a transformed mind, changed habits, and renewed relationships. I feel honored and grateful to have been a small part of the journeys I’ve joined with numerous patients in my work as a therapist. What a joy!

If you are a high-functioning professional navigating anxiety, life transitions, career stress, faulty coping mechanisms, or relationship challenges- you're in the right place. Serving North Carolina and Texas, I offer individual therapy for adults, group therapy, intensives, and workshops. My clients are typically achieving some level of success externally, but dealing with internal struggles other people may not be aware of. I'm passionate about making space for those silent internal challenges and helping my clients move towards a satisfying, meaningful existence.

I find great pleasure in successful long-term therapy relationships. My clients are usually adults who can appreciate and learn well from a working relationship with a good therapist. Please visit my website EasyToTalkTo.com. I am "seeing" all my clients on the telephone at this time, with great success. (I again have times free for Medicare patients.) Financial information: I can accept payments from many medical insurance companies as well as provide therapy for self-pay clients, using a sliding scale. I love my clients.

Childhood trauma can result in feelings of being unappreciated, unloved, and even depressed. You might find yourself caught in repetitive patterns, tolerating unhealthy behaviors from others, and feelings of helplessness and shame. It's challenging when it seems like your world is falling apart, and you're faced with gaslighting or accusations of being manipulative. This leaves you confused, hurt, and in need of understanding. It's time to prioritize yourself, boost your self-esteem, and genuinely embrace happiness. The journey to healing is life-changing.

Despite best efforts, the clients I work with find themselves frustrated, overwhelmed, or disheartened when trying to achieve goals, grieving a loss or navigating life’s unique challenges. They want to heal; disrupt patterns within themselves; or in relationships. Typically, they are open to the idea of “awakening” & want to feel more grounded within themselves & explore how they interact with the world. Through the lens of authentic compassion, they’re awakening or questioning our cultural conditioning that reinforces the idea that we are not enough. I create a genuine space for you to come as you are.

I operate from a foundational understanding that we are all connected in a myriad of ways, though the dominant culture in which we live tends to weaken these connections, leaving many of us feeling isolated, overwhelmed, lost, and distracted.  I work with people ages 16 and up and focus in the following areas: addiction and substance misuse, life transitions and meaning-seeking, and ecoanxiety. I am here to support you towards enhancing feelings of wholeness, peace, and confidence in your capacity and ability to navigate the challenges of our world.

I have seen firsthand how families can have a profound impact on their neurodiverse child's growth and development, and how that child can have a profound impact on their families. I believe in taking a holistic approach collaborating with both children and their families across different therapeutic methods to support and upliftthe lives of everyone in the family.

Whether you're a caregiver navigating the complexities of parenting your child or teen with ADHD, anxiety, or depression, or are a teen or young adult wrestling with ADHD, depression, or anxiety and want some skills to manage your symptoms, you're on a unique journey. In most cases, I aim to include caregivers in therapy to enhance the support and structures available to children and teens, ensuring they can fully benefit from treatment and thrive. My goal as your potential therapist is to equip you with the tools to thrive in your daily life and aspire to lead a life aligned with your values.

I am currently accepting new clients, and I always respond within 24 hours. I partner with adults of all ages who are seeking psychotherapy within a setting that’s able to hold the fullness of who they are and the larger arc of their path. Located on Pickards Mountain at the edge of Chapel Hill, I describe my approach as depth-oriented, contemplative, and somatic. Another term I use is soulcentric. Why? Because the word soul points to the deeper dimensions of one’s life. It evokes the rich, sometimes hidden currents running through our lives and orients us toward our ever-unfolding authenticity and path.

You deserve excellent therapy. My clients describe me as authentic, humorous, engaged, insightful, brave, creative, well resourced, experienced, non-judgmental and effective. People I work with have a desire to heal and create their lives as a reflection of their values and unique perspectives. With couples, I use PACT, EFT and Gottman approaches to support the couple on their goals, in a safe space, where honesty and authenticity lead the way.

I have offered individual therapy and groups to clients in the Triangle for over 35 years. My services are designed to help the individual understand and successfully deal with emotional or relational problems which she or he may be experiencing. My goals are to help each client to change or adopt behavior patterns which are healthy and lead to outcomes desired by the client, and to assist the client to feel better about her or him self. My approach is always supportive and based on my belief in the ability of human beings to grow and to heal from the psychological wounds we all carry.

Suffering draws us to consider therapy, much as it sends us to any doctor. The suffering therapy focuses on is emotional and existential (a LIFE that is out of whack). If you are considering therapy it means that you take your suffering seriously and wish to seek a more fulfilling life. You know instinctively that more is possible. I have many years of experience in helping people to develop greater strength and more fulfilling relationships.

As an adult with ADHD, are you constantly overwhelmed or always playing catch-up? Is lack of focus impacting your life? Whether you are newly diagnosed with ADHD/ADD or have been struggling to find solutions for years, I will help you create effective strategies to manage your challenges and enjoy lasting change. If you are a parent of a child with ADHD, I will help you understand your child's brain, differentiate ADHD struggles from standard childhood behavior, and develop parenting strategies that will stop the chaos and help your child succeed.

Families come to me because their child or adolescent is struggling, and often times they don’t know where to begin to make things better. I work with children, teens, their parents, and young adults (up to age 25). I initially focus on learning about a person's challenges and strengths. Then, together we develop a plan for gaining mastery over difficulties, achieving goals, and ultimately reaching a child, teen, or early adult's potential. Often challenges feel overwhelming when first seeking help, but most families find initial sessions to clarify goals while also setting the stage for long-sought change.
