Your life looks successful on the outside. Inside, you’re struggling.
You've started to realize that the ways you've learned to cope with stress and anxiety aren't working anymore but you're not sure what to do instead.
You may recognize yourself in some of these experiences:
You’re high-achieving but quietly exhausted
You have a successful career but you’re struggling in your personal relationships
You feel numb, disconnected, or overwhelmed
You’re going through the motions instead of truly enjoying your life
No amount of accomplishment seems to quiet your self-doubt
Your relationships feel distant no matter how hard you try
If any of this resonates with you, you're not alone and you don't have to navigate it by yourself. I offer private, personalized therapy for adult individuals and couples in Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, uncover the patterns that no longer serve you, and help you create meaningful, lasting change.
Personalized Approach
I work with adults and couples navigating the effects of unresolved trauma, anxiety, and relationships that don't feel as connected or fulfilling as they'd like. I offer thoughtful, personalized therapy tailored to your unique needs. By maintaining a small, select caseload, I'm able to provide each client with the time, attention, and care they deserve.
How I support you
Whether you're new to therapy or returning after a long time away, reaching out takes courage. I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation so you can ask questions and get a feel for how I work before committing to a first session.
My theoretical approach
My approach is integrative and tailored to you. I draw primarily on psychodynamic, relational, Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment, and EMDR frameworks — meaning we will work with both insight and the body to create change that lasts. See the Approach page for a fuller description of each modality.
