THERAPY

By signing up for therapy, you're already moving in a courageous and positive direction. Our lives and our world are peppered with anxieties, loss and periods of time when we feel our circumstances are insurmountable. I approach therapy with warmth and collaboration to help you move forward with confidence and a sense of wholeness. 

Some of my areas of specialty are anxiety disorders, relational stressors, leadership and identity development, perinatal and postpartum health, and adverse experiences or spiritual harm in faith environments.

I utilize a variety of resources, but most importantly, I work with each client to tailor my approach to the goals and strengths of the individual and offer a safe place for self disclosure and healing.  

​

Some of my training and areas of competency include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Couples Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, EMDR, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT in particular is a value-based approach that offers me a foundational framework which I find to be client centered and flexible for supporting somatic integration. 

​

Couples Therapy: 

Some of my most meaningful experiences as a therapist have been through supporting couples. I approach our time together as the facilitator. What happens in real time during session is supported communication and new patterns of behavior that can change the course of the relationship. 

​

Walk-Talk Therapy:

Clinical research shows that rhythmic and bilateral movement can enhance cognitive processing and be therapeutic in and of itself. Additionally, eco-psychotherapy approaches taking place in nature offer the added benefits of boosting mood and helping with emotional regulation. Some even find that the less restrictive setting offers an ease of engaging in difficult topics. I offer walking sessions at two locations in central and south Durham. 

​

Fees and Insurance:

I am in-network with Optum, Aetna, United and BCBS of NC. I offer a sliding scale based on income disclosure and am happy to provide documentation for out of network reimbursement.
