Therapists for college students near Duke University

I began my counseling career working with groups, adolescents, and adults experiencing homelessness in a nonprofit setting. In transitioning to private practice I enjoy deeper counseling relationships by getting to walk alongside people more long term. I believe healing takes place with the whole person in mind, attending to psychological, physiological, emotional, social, and spiritual facets of the person. I find it fulfilling to walk alongside my clients as they cultivate wholeness and rediscover the beauty of their stories. Specialities: I am passionate about working in the specialties of EMDR, trauma, and adoption related issues. I have completed certification in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I have experience counseling clients across a range of issues: anxiety, ADHD, self-esteem/image, mild depression, premarital counseling, marital counseling, and relational issues. Therapeutic Techniques: I utilize techniques from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Child-Centered Play Therapy, Strengths Based approach and Gottman techniques, among others. My education focused on an integrated approach, which intersected clinical approaches with Biblical principles. Upon request, I am able to provide counseling from a Biblical perspective.

Do you feel like you are strapped on a roller coaster of anxiety and depression and can't get off the ride? We can feel out of control because of life changes, relationships, and significant events. We can become stuck in our own unhealthy thoughts, emotions, actions, and responses. Sometimes we hyper-focus on relationships and fixing other people. Or we may develop unhealthy patterns when using things outside of ourselves to experience immediate relief and help us cope. This may include alcohol, marijuana, pills, food, porn, exercise, gaming, social media, shopping, and gambling. You need somewhere safe to talk about the hard stuff. Every person has difficulties that feel overwhelming at some point in their lives. Being willing to ask for assistance is a courageous gift to yourself. I find it gratifying to help people struggling with anxiety and depression related to challenges in life and relationships. You are worth your own effort in becoming a healthier version of yourself! I look forward to being a part of the journey!

Life in your teen and early adult years is overwhelming. Figuring out who you are, fielding all the expectations, managing unknowns about the future, and putting yourself out there socially are all demanding your time and energy. It's a lot. Maybe you’re about to give up, feeling ready to stop being disappointed in yourself, or feeling that this is just how life is, and you need to cope however you can. You've done all the things you thought you were supposed to, and it doesn’t seem like it’s enough. You don’t have to keep pushing through. A meaningful, joyful life is possible for you, too. I work with teens, young adults, and their families to address the “never enough,” “what’s wrong with me,” or “why did this happen to me?” In our work, we will slow down and process the beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you while learning behaviors that support the person you are becoming. My approach is warm and compassionate, yet direct. Teen years and young adulthood are hard enough; you don't have to figure it out on your own. Together, we will work through the self-doubt, feelings of hopelessness, and the sense of isolation so that you can be your unique self—truly seen and valued. Strong and confident.
