I am a Person-Centered, Gestalt therapist that uses interventions from various modalities. I am a hypnotherapist. I am EMDR trained.
I know how hard it is to learn to talk about difficult things. That made me want to help others learn to do the same. I started by volunteering at rape crisis and domestic violence shelters. When I was at these places I did outreach in the community and ran support groups for both. For a time, I took rape crisis hospital calls to support people who had come in for sexual assault exams. This work that taught me to be comfortable talking about anything, at any time, with anyone. I have worked with all types of individuals from ages 12 and up. My first Masters was an intensive dive into Human Rights. My second Masters was in Counseling so I could work with individuals to help them beyond the crisis moments. My passion is to help people progress towards healing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Durham, NC
Finding LGBTQIA therapists in Durham starts with identifying affirming care as a core part of fit. An LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist may support concerns related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or gender exploration. Look for therapists who mention affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, or direct experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people. A therapist’s profile can also show whether their listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want support with.
Durham has a strong mental health community, and finding the right match still depends on practical details like location, schedule, and appointment format. Some people prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or school, while others use virtual therapy to access a wider set of affirming therapists across North Carolina. As you compare options, look for therapists who explicitly name LGBTQIA+ care in their bios, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and provide a free phone consultation so you can learn more before booking.
Therapy in Durham can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and share upfront cost estimates before your first session, so you can review bios, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
