Somatic Therapists in Durham, NC

Choosing the path of growth and change isn't for the faint of heart. Yet, you are deserving of leading an authentic life. My intention is to establish a supportive and empowering space for you to discover your authentic self, inner strength, and embrace your wholeness. Therapy can help you build a life that reflects the essence of Maya Angelou's words “..not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style."

I know firsthand how scary it can be trying to navigate tumultuous thoughts and feelings on your own, and then trying to trust someone else to help you make sense of them! My own experience in mental health is what inspired me to become a therapist that can offer clients assistance in times of distress as a partner that will walk alongside them to support them at their pace. I approach therapy from a holistic lens to explore and address all aspects of health that the client wants to bring into the session, including but not limited to the implications of physical health, spiritual health, social health, and intellectual health.

I work best with adult individuals and couples who wish to address any of the following: anxiety; mind-body issues like IBS, chronic pain, back pain, etc; stress and trauma; relationship difficulties, life transitions, cultural differences, or spiritual issues; and depression. Therapy is individualized, determined by each client's personal needs, interests, and goals. My aim is to support and guide each person through his or her own unique journey towards greater health, wellness, wholeness, peace, satisfaction, and fulfillment. My work is guided by a holistic, mindfulness-based approach, resulting in gradual yet sustainable change.

My approach to therapy is warm, nonjudgmental, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe a safe therapeutic relationship is essential in providing effective, transformative therapy. I honor the individuality of my clients and know the courage it takes to come to therapy, and I firmly believe that it’s in our deepest struggles that we have the most potential for learning and growth. I am guided by the belief that everyone holds the ability within themselves to heal, and that together through a trusting therapeutic relationship, I can assist clients in their journeys towards being more deeply connected to themselves and others.

I work with adults only and specialize in treatment for chronic pain, trauma/PTSD, and anxiety. I also help with a range of other issues. I especially enjoy supporting clients who have centralized conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia, IBS) and/or autoimmune diseases alongside histories of trauma. Clients often come into therapy with me expressing a desire to more deeply understand themselves and their sense of suffering, and to let go of the burdens they carry. My job in that process is never to fix you or tell you what to do. Rather, it is to support you in discovering your own deep knowing about who you are and what you need.
