Whether this is your first time looking for a therapist or a "last ditch effort" to get help, I believe I can support you. When you are working with me, and yes, therapy is work, it is my hope that you will feel warmth, genuineness, and judgment-free compassion from me. Just the concept of feeling heard can be quite powerful in itself. I am trained in a number of therapeutic approaches but I do not believe in a cookie-cutter approach to clients, and will tailor my interventions to your needs.
Hello! I work with individuals seeking to find clarity on their mental health, maladaptive behaviors, and direction in life.

Are you questioning your relationship with substances or other behaviors, and want to make changes?
Is your child engaging in substance use or other risky/addictive behaviors, and you want to artfully guide them towards healthier decisions, or they’re interested in shifting their use?
Would you like support with creating family screen guidelines that keep your kids healthy, safe, and responsible, while reducing battles over it all?
Are you disconnected from your adolescent and eager for "teen whispering" skills to improve your relationship?
Then I’ve got you!
In the middle of college, at 19, I found myself in rehab, struggling with multiple addictions. This rerouted me from my dreams of Broadway to sparking a 30+ year career in the fields of prevention, early intervention and treatment of substance use disorders and other addictions. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment with adolescents and adults, in therapeutic schools, as a middle and high school counselor, and as a parenting coach.
I’m licensed as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Internationally Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor, Prevention Specialist, and certified in Digital Health & Wellness. It's also important you know that my own family and close social circle are diverse humans, and I'm comfortable and specially trained to work with LGBTQ+, racial, cultural and religious diversity.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Durham
Finding addiction therapists in Durham starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or relapse prevention planning. Others may coordinate with a psychiatrist or other prescriber when medication management is part of a person’s care plan.
Durham has a steady network of therapists, with options near central neighborhoods, local campuses, and surrounding areas. Virtual appointments can also expand your choices if office location, transportation, or scheduling makes in-person care harder to fit into your routine. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. A bio that mentions harm reduction, substance use experience, or non-judgmental care can help you decide who may be a strong fit.
Therapy in Durham can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, with many accepting new patients and offering clear profiles with direct booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
