I got my MA in Dance/Movement Therapy and Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2009 and have since worked mostly in community mental health. I'm excited to move more fully into working with women in transitional spaces of life looking for support and validation about their desires and next steps. I also work with preschool age children in their homes or school to help behavioral and relationship issues.
I am the founder and owner or RKM Counseling. For the past 18 years I have worked as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, helping clients through both extremely challenging circumstances and daily struggles with life. In 2008, I obtained my Masters degree in Counseling from the #2 nationally ranked counseling program. I specialize in grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety and depression.
I believe healing happens best in spaces where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I bring both curiosity and compassion to every session, and I genuinely love learning about the unique story that makes you you.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, I want you to know that you don’t have to figure it out alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move toward the life you want.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Durham, NC
Finding postpartum therapists in Durham starts with looking for care that fits the specific concerns that can come up during and after pregnancy. Postpartum support can address more than postpartum depression, including postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, relationship strain, and concerns that began during pregnancy. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, maternal counseling, or maternity therapy. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.
In Durham, you may find postpartum mental health therapists offering sessions near local neighborhoods and medical centers, along with virtual care across North Carolina. For new parents, virtual appointments can make access easier when schedules change, infant care is limited, or physical recovery affects travel. Along with specialty experience, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach, communication style, and experience with prenatal depression, postpartum depression, and related concerns.
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 understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists in Durham who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show current availability, and may be accepting new clients. You can compare bios, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you are ready.
