If you're ready to make change in your life, you've come to the right place! If you want to do therapy via Telehealth from the comfort of your home, we will be a great fit (just get ready for me to ask to meet your pets over the computer!) If you want to meet OUTDOORS for therapy, I'm your girl. My favorite therapy sessions are done in nature in the Boone, NC and surrounding areas - we can walk, hike, kayak, or even ski/snowboard during your therapy session! I believe the best therapy happens while moving your body in nature. I specialize in relationships, body-centered therapy, trauma-healing, women's issues, and goal-achievement.


I am a queer, cisgender female in my mid-30s (she/her pronouns.) I am diagnosed with depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, and ADHD. I understand addiction and mental health first-hand. Though I am a therapist, I see us as equals and partners. I have 5 years experience working in Community Mental Health with diagnoses from Depression to Schizophrenia.

I'm currently accepting clients across NC. Let's partner to make your life THRIVE! I will provide the help you need or link you to someone who can. Your first session with me will be free. We'll get to know one another through a relaxed conversation and see if we will make a good fit together. BCBS coming late Spring of 2022! Cigna, Aetna, Optum coming Dec!

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Durham

Finding ADHD therapists in Durham starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, and support for related concerns like anxiety, depression, sleep issues, or school and work stress. Psychiatrists can provide medication management, and some people use therapy, medication management, or both. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can also involve different experience, so look for a therapist whose bio lists ADHD, your age group, and the type of support you want.

Durham has a range of mental health care options, from offices near downtown and Duke to virtual appointments that can fit around work, school, or caregiving schedules. If you search for an ADHD specialist near me, adult ADHD specialist near me, or ADHD evaluation near me, consider practical fit along with specialty. Check whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and has experience with ADHD and co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. Reading bios can help you compare approach, session structure, and communication style before you book.

Therapy in Durham can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and seeing your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking can make the next step clearer. Headway helps you search for Durham therapists who list ADHD as a focus, review detailed profiles, confirm insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

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.
