Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Clinical Mental Health Therapist dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and trauma-informed care in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Cleveland State University and my Master of Science in Social Administration from Case Western Reserve University. I also completed a Trauma Certification at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based treatment for trauma. My additional professional training includes Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and parenting skills.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. My areas of focus include trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, stress management, and emotional regulation. As a bilingual therapist, I am committed to providing culturally responsive care to both English- and Spanish-speaking individuals.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe healing begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I integrate trauma-informed care, TF-CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and person-centered techniques to help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, restore balance, and move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Durham, NC

Searching for family therapists in Durham starts with finding someone who understands the relationships and patterns involved, not just one person’s experience. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, family estrangement, and communication breakdowns across generations. Look for a therapist whose profile lists family counselling and therapy, experience with therapy for family problems, or training that fits your needs. Family therapists often work with the relational system, which means they may help family members understand roles, patterns, and interactions together.

In a mid-sized city like Durham, you may find a range of Durham therapists with different specialties, office locations, and appointment formats. In-person care may be useful when several family members plan to attend from the same area, while virtual appointments can make scheduling easier when family members live in different places or have varied routines. Session attendance can also vary by need, including the full family, specific family members, or individual sessions connected to the larger family work. Before booking, read therapist bios to see how they describe their approach, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Durham can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare Durham, NC therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before your first session. You can search by insurance, specialty, appointment format, and availability, then book directly when you find a therapist who matches your family’s needs and accepts your plan.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
