Hi, I’m Christina. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps teens, families, and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, and life’s high-stress seasons. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported — a place where you don’t have to hold it all together or figure things out alone.

In addition to private practice, I work in community crisis response, supporting individuals and families during difficult or overwhelming situations. This experience helps me stay calm, practical, and focused on what truly helps when life feels heavy.

My commitment is tangible results: symptom reduction, sustainable recovery, deeper self-discovery, and ultimately, an improved quality of life. Whether you want to "figure things out" or enhance your mental fitness, I'm here to guide you.

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 a Therapist in Durham

Finding the right ADHD provider in Durham starts with understanding the type of care you need. Therapists who specialize in ADHD can help with building coping strategies, improving focus, and managing day-to-day challenges through approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Psychiatrists can evaluate symptoms, provide a diagnosis, and manage medication if that's part of your care plan. Some people benefit from working with both.

Durham is home to a wide range of mental health providers, from those near Duke University and downtown to practices across the Research Triangle. When choosing a provider, consider whether they have experience with ADHD in your age group — care for adults often looks different from care for children or teens. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and help you decide if they're a good match before booking.

ADHD therapy in Durham can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find an ADHD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
