As a therapist and life coach, my goal is to help you feel both empowered and at peace with yourself and your life and to guide you on a positive path to growth and well-being. Through our work together, I seek to help you uncover your true self, find your voice, & align your values & life choices. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Simultaneously I will introduce you to tools and strategies that may help you better navigate the stress and anxiety of life and hopefully enable you to experience greater peace, joy, and well being.

I draw from psychodynamic and couples approaches ( EFT, Gottman, Imago), and I use CBT and mindfulness where they actually help.
I work with people who look accomplished on the outside but feel anxious, stuck, or worn down inside. Harvard-trained psychotherapist with over 20 years’ experience, I bring a thoughtful, collaborative, depth-oriented approach—less about quick fixes, more about changes that hold. Often, that starts with noticing this: the anxiety that once fueled your success now drains you. Relationships that look stable feel hollow. Grief you’ve been “handling well” lingers in the background. I offer therapy in Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and online across North Carolina.

Therapy is not always easy. But that doesn't mean it is without joy. In therapy, we get to come to an appreciation of both joy and sorrow that are the consequences of living a fully human life. Through appropriate challenge and support, we are able to expand the range of our humanity and our participation in the world.

Feeling stressed? Overwhelmed? Stuck? Trouble communicating with others in your life or navigating life's ups and downs? Wondering if therapy might help?
Human interactions sometimes cause misunderstandings and conflicts.
Whether working with children, adolescents, adults, couples or families, I believe that the idea of fairness and responsibility within our relationships is important.
Problems arise when we are not treated fairly or do not take responsibility for our own actions. Psychotherapy is a unique collaboration between psychotherapist and client. It can vary depending on the personalities of the psychotherapist and the client and the particular issues you bring forward.
