I’m a clinical psychologist who lives in Durham, NC. I have worked in a variety of settings, from specialized mental health clinics like those focused on interpersonal trauma, substance use and gambling, to more general mental health clinics in hospitals and universities. I specialize in helping people grow in their emotional awareness and well-being, build healthy relationships, and adjust to major life changes.
I value authenticity and want to make therapy feel approachable. I have been a therapist for over ten years, and I've learned that finding a good therapist match is the most important predictor of a successful course of therapy - that's why I am always up for a free consultation where you can get to know me and my approach to counseling.
My job is to create a supportive and affirming space, offer expertise as needed, and be patient while encouraging personal growth.
