I primarily work with clients who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or addiction.
If you are looking for a relatable, down-to-earth therapist: I'm your person. If you like to laugh and get well at the same time: I'm definitely your person. Humor can be part of healing! Having been in therapy myself since age 10, I understand what it is to be depressed, anxious, and traumatized in ways that drain the color out of life and replace future excitement with a sense of hopelessness. It's an agonizing way to live. I have found ways to restore my passion for life, and I am eager to help you do the same! I'm here to collaborate with you on your path to healing- call me! I want to help people who are motivated to change.

Most clients I work with are adults experiencing challenges with grief/loss, life transitions, anxiety, substance/alcohol misuse or relationship distress.
You feel stuck. Life often comes with these "stuck points"- perhaps for you it is grief after a recent loss, a relationship ending, a traumatic event, or wondering if THIS is all life has to offer… Although we do have to face these inevitable challenges in life, we do not have to do it alone. When these painful experiences arise, we may attempt to cope in ways that perpetuate the pain cycle further, maybe with maladaptive coping, overuse of substances/alcohol or self-sabotaging tendencies. Therapy can lift you up above these cycles, to gain better understanding, compassion, coping skills and help bring you back home to yourself.

I'm really glad you're here. Although I live in Durham, NC, and Boone, NC, I work with folks who live all over North Carolina. My favorite work to do with clients is exploring parts of yourself that you don't like, parts that might need some extra attention or healing, and internal feelings or overwhelming body sensations (like anxiety, anger, or depression) that really seem to hold you back. I really enjoy working with cis women and queer folx, exploring anything from relationships to coming out, attachments styles, old or newer traumas, implementing positive self talk, substance use, and gender identity.

What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
