Therapists for college students near Duke University

My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, compassion, and a deep respect for each individual's unique experiences and strengths. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. Each person I encounter brings their own story, struggles, and aspirations, and I am committed to providing safe, nonjudgmental care.

Central to my client care philosophy is the belief in providing a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges. Each client interaction is approached with sensitivity, respect, and a genuine desire to understand their unique needs and experiences. By building a strong therapeutic alliance, I collaborate with clients to develop tailored treatment plans that address their specific concerns and work towards meaningful and sustainable growth. With college students schedule, it is easy to squeeze in sessions with me. I offer Telehealth sessions at different times to accomodate and make accessing services easier.

My practice model is all about helping clients explore themselves and their place in the world. As a licensed psychologist with experience working in a variety of care settings, I have expertise in treating depression, anxiety, lifestyle stress, trauma, addiction, and spiritual/existential distress. My therapy takes a nonjudgmental, compassion oriented focus. Through guiding my clients to approach themselves in more open and honest ways, I help them uncover their core needs so that they may lead lives that feel vibrant and fulfilling. I view health as a balance between mind, body, spirit, and environment. As such, my therapy style is holistic. I regularly guide my clients in mindfulness-based practices and offer an approach that blends Internal Family Systems therapy with somatic work and cognitive-behavioral exploration. In a culture where consciousness altering drug use is on the rise, I also work with clients to gain optimal wellness following challenging, disorienting, or invigorating psychedelic experiences. My passion for the Enneagram heavily informs my therapeutic lens, and I happily teach this tool to clients interested in evolving their understanding of self. I work to bolster my clients’ strengths while developing new skills and fresh insights. With sensitivity to the health impact of both personal and cultural forces, I strive to create a safe, welcoming space for my clients to explore all facets of their identities.
