Choosing to begin psychotherapy can feel overwhelming, and finding a good match with a therapist is important. I have created this website to provide information about me, to share what to expect in your first several sessions, and to provide contact information.
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing intensive psychoanalytic treatment in Durham, NC. I see people online and in person depending on needs and current COVID levels. I use concepts from attachment theory to frame my work when working with adults and couples. I received my Master of Education degree from Vanderbilt University in the Human Development Counseling program and am currently a psychoanalyst in training at the Psychoanalytic Center of the Carolinas (PCC).
I have undertaken advanced-level training in attachment theory and am a parent facilitator for the Circle of Security Parenting program. My work with trauma is enhanced by training in EMDR. I am an active member of the PCC community and have served as chair of the Scientific Programs Committee. I currently serve on the Curriculum Committee and the Anti-Racism Task Force. I have led a study group, Psychoanalysis at the Margins, for six years, concerned with issues and groups historically overlooked by psychoanalytic institutions.
