Feeling trapped by anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or procrastination? I help you gain calm and control with practical, evidence-based CBT and ERP -informed tools. I help adults with anxiety and OCD intrusive thoughts, reduce chronic overthinking, and feel steady again in their daily life and relationships. My approach integrates ERP and CBT for practical symptom relief with deeper attachment and parts-based work to address long-standing relational patterns, self-criticism, and codependency. Therapy with me is structured, collaborative, and paced to your individual path.
Many functioning adults struggle with anxiety, OCD, or procrastination that persists even when they understand what’s happening.
These patterns aren’t a lack of willpower —
They may be learned responses that can be changed with the right support and tools.
Together, we create tailored plan for transcending patterns that have kept you stuck.
You’ll leave sessions with language for your patterns, tools that work in real time, and a quiet confidence you didn’t think was possible.
I specialize in:
- OCD and intrusive thought spirals
- Anxiety that shows up as overthinking, perfectionism, or constant second-guessing, emotional eating
- Codependent relationship dynamics
- Navigating old-school family dynamics without shrinking yourself
People tell me they value my sincerity, warmth, and ability to make them feel truly seen — while also being gently challenged to grow.
If you’re ready to stop spinning and start shifting, schedule a session with me today.

Hi, I’m Hannah! Born and raised in North Carolina and proud graduate of the University of North Carolina Wilmington, where I earned my Master’s in Social Work in 2022 and in VA undergraduate degree in Psychology in 2018.
For the past four years, I’ve worked in community mental health and have spent nearly two years in private practice. I’ve supported teens and adults through crisis, addiction, suicide prevention, trauma, and life transitions and I genuinely care about helping people feel steady, understood, and empowered again.
My approach blends evidence-based therapies like CBT, trauma-focused work, EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, and somatic interventions. That means we don’t just talk about what’s hard we build practical tools, process what’s been weighing on you, and create real movement forward.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in compassion. I would truly be honored to walk alongside you in this season.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Durham
Finding the right OCD therapist in Durham starts with understanding the type of care that works best for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Some people with OCD explore structured therapeutic approaches such as exposure and response prevention (ERP) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and a qualified healthcare professional can help determine what may be appropriate. Not every therapist is trained in these methods, so looking for a provider who specializes in OCD rather than one who lists it alongside dozens of other concerns can make a meaningful difference. If medication management is also part of your care plan, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help.
Durham's location in the Research Triangle means access to a strong network of mental health providers, many with ties to leading academic and medical institutions. Whether you're near Duke University, downtown Durham, or closer to Chapel Hill or Raleigh, you can find OCD specialists who offer both in-person and virtual appointments. Consider what matters most to you — a provider's experience with specific OCD subtypes, their therapeutic style, or appointment availability — and read their bio before booking.
Therapy in the Durham area can be costly without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most direct ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before your first appointment, and many people pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
