Immediate availability and flexible scheduling for Duke Students. Get the support you need today!

I specialize in helping high achieving students improve relationships, reduce stress and anxiety, and make the most our of their time in academia. My approach is a blend of psychoeducation, solution-focused therapy and coaching techniques that is tailored to the individual. I believe it is important to set and work toward the goals most important to you in therapy. Each relationship is important to me and I love working in collaboration with my clients. I’ve been a psychotherapist for the past 15 years working with young adults & adults. I am in-network with the Duke Student insurance plan through BCBS and Aetna.
