Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.

I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.

Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Durham

Finding a postpartum therapist in Durham starts with identifying the type of support you need. Postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and other perinatal mood concerns may be addressed with support from a provider who has specific training in maternal mental health. Look for a licensed therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist with experience in perinatal care — credentials like PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification) can indicate specialized training. On Headway, you can read detailed provider bios to learn about their approach, areas of focus, and what to expect in a session.

With Durham's proximity to Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and the broader Triangle area, you may also want to consider providers who offer virtual sessions. Virtual appointments can be especially practical when you're managing a newborn's schedule or recovering from childbirth. Many postpartum therapists on Headway are available for both in-person and virtual visits, giving you flexibility to choose what works best.

Postpartum therapy in Durham can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session — though costs may vary based on your location and exact insurance coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
