I see counseling as a walk between two people, a time to discuss the ups and downs of life. I am person centered; solution focused and draw from a wide range of CBT mindfulness and Accelerated Resolution Therapy techniques that will help my clients find their own unique path in life.
Hi, I’m glad you’re here! I support clients in building confidence and navigating life in ways that feel true to themselves and sustainable. My work centers around trauma and neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD, late-diagnosed autism, and PTSD as well as anxiety and stress management and general life transitions. My approach is client-centered and neurodiversity-affirming, and I lean towards a comfortable, casual conversation style of talk therapy.
I believe that most people have the answers within themselves to work through their own problems - my role is to help you unlock that inner wisdom. I have experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety and depression, or who are numbing out through substance use. My clients are often working through life transitions and other challenging situations, such as relationship issues, grief, or chronic pain. Perhaps you have not been handling your emotions very well. You may even feel hopeless, or unsure how to articulate what you are feeling. Therapy is a collaborative journey to a more healthy state of mind.
I’ve been a practicing clinical psychologist for 40 years. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with many different types of people, including those navigating PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, eating disorders, veterans’ issues, parenting challenges, life transitions, and women’s issues. I’ve worked in private practice, counseling centers, nursing homes, inpatient treatment, and equine therapy, which has given me broad experience supporting clients across many settings and stages of life.

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.
