Let's get you feeling better. I work with EMDR, IFS, CBT, and ACT to address trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions.

I know it's hard to start therapy so give yourself credit already for looking into it. I am available to help people work through past trauma and current stressors as well as anxiety and depression problems. My specialty is EMDR therapy that can help untangle old traumatic experiences so that people can function better in the present. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina with 25 years of experience. I offer individual therapy for adults, seniors, and young adults, addressing issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma. I provides in-person and telehealth services from Durham, NC, and I'm an LGBTQ ally. I accept DSHIP insurance.
