Depression Therapists in Durham, NC
All people seek relief from anxieties, depression, and other disturbing and traumatic mental states. It is part of the human condition to wish to do away with distressing thoughts, feelings, and behavior that sometimes seem to dominate us rather than be active choices. Through the experience of the therapeutic and other current relationships, one may become aware of old yet alive and active ways of being and relating. The uncovering of these in the "here and now" together promotes awareness and integration. Everyone deserves a chance to live less burdened and with greater access to their inner resources.

I treat a wide variety of clinical disorders such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and personality disorders. However, I specialize in the treatment of addiction to drugs, alcohol, and sexually compulsive behaviors better known as “sex addiction.” The reason I don’t prefer that term is because it oversimplifies both the subjective experience and the symptoms. For example, overuse of pornography, or countless hours spent browsing single’s ads online doesn’t necessarily involve sex, but it can be compulsive.
