Starting therapy and finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when life already feels stressful! With over six years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan, including young children, adolescents, and adults.
I support clients in navigating a range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, and student athletes balancing academic/social/athletic pressures. I also have experience supporting children/adolescents with ASD, ODD, ADHD, and other developmental or behavioral challenges, as well as supporting the parent/caregiver of the child/adolescent.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Boston College, where I specialized in working with children, youth, and families. I currently provide therapy services to clients in both New York and North Carolina.
The decision to start therapy is a courageous one. I create an open and safe environment for you to embark on your therapeutic journey. In my practice I take a strength-based approach to help you learn and grow. I am interested in exploring who you are as an individual and helping you get where you want to be. Together I hope to build a respectful and collaborative therapeutic alliance.
For 18 years, I have worked alongside children and adults navigating some of life's hardest
moments: anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and more. I believe that when you
invest in your mental health, you gain more control over your own life, and that is something
worth working toward together. I am dually licensed in both North Carolina and South
Carolina, which means I bring a depth of clinical experience across many settings. Using a
blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy, I meet you where
you are and help you build toward where you want to be.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Durham
Finding the right ADHD provider in Durham starts with understanding the type of care you need. Therapists who specialize in ADHD can help with building coping strategies, improving focus, and managing day-to-day challenges through approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Psychiatrists can evaluate symptoms, provide a diagnosis, and manage medication if that's part of your care plan. Some people benefit from working with both.
Durham is home to a wide range of mental health providers, from those near Duke University and downtown to practices across the Research Triangle. When choosing a provider, consider whether they have experience with ADHD in your age group — care for adults often looks different from care for children or teens. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and help you decide if they're a good match before booking.
ADHD therapy in Durham can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find an ADHD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
