If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you don't have to figure it out alone.

I help adults work through anxiety, ADHD, depression, and the stress of big life transitions so you can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of direction.

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience, and I bring a calm, grounded presence to the work.

My background spans trauma-informed care, support for college students building self-advocacy and success strategies (especially those with learning differences), and extensive work with the military community — including wounded warriors and their families.

Whether you're navigating a career or life change, managing attention or focus challenges, working through anxiety or depression, or facing relationship stress, I offer a safe, collaborative space where real growth is possible.

Clients often describe me as warm, real, non-judgmental, and direct in a supportive way. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome people from all backgrounds with a spirit of inclusion and care.

Ready to stop managing the noise and finally start living?

You are exhausted from carrying everyone else's luggage. On paper, you are high-functioning, capable, and the one everyone turns to. But inside, the mental noise feels like a car alarm that has been blaring for days without stopping. You have tried analyzing your thoughts, policing your anxiety, and forcing yourself to stay calm, but your heart is simply tired of the old way of surviving.

You don't need another clinical checklist or a rigid set of coping mechanisms. You need a space where it is safe to completely drop your armor.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Durham

Finding the right therapist in Durham starts with identifying what you want to work on. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or another concern, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in that area can make a meaningful difference. Durham is home to a large and diverse network of mental health professionals, including licensed clinical mental health counselors (LCMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists.

Beyond specialty, consider practical factors like whether you prefer in-person sessions or virtual visits, and whether a provider's availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and help you decide if they feel like a good match. Many providers offer a free phone consultation before your first session, so you can ask questions and gauge fit with no commitment.

Therapy in Durham can be expensive without insurance. One of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs is to see a provider who is in-network with your plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
