About
As a person who has experienced trauma and loss, I truly understand how deeply life's challenges can shake us. I also know firsthand that developing new tools and coping skills is what allows us to reclaim our power and move forward.
Sometimes life can feel like you're running on a treadmill—moving constantly but staying in the exact same place. Hard or painful events can be a single, monumental moment or the quiet, cumulative weight of carrying too much for too long. A former colleague once said, "I might not be the one who caused the problems in my life but I'm the one who has to fix them." Therapy works best as a collaborative partnership built on radical compassion, zero judgment, and genuine human connection. I believe everyone possesses an innate capacity to heal, and it would be my privilege to help you rediscover yours.
My practice balances deep empathy with practical, evidence-based techniques. By blending CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and person-centered, trauma-informed care, we customize sessions to fit your unique needs. I specialize in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, especially those navigating gender-affirming care, as well as adults with anxiety, depression, and/or trauma.
Healing isn't about erasing your past—it's about changing how the past lives in your present. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. Together, we will create a space where you can move out of survival mode and step into a life rooted in safety, resilience, and genuine peace. Let's figure out how to get you moving again, together.

The length of addiction counseling depends on the individual’s needs, the extent and severity of their addiction, and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in addiction counseling in the first weeks to months.
Addiction is a condition in which an individual loses an aptitude to keep under control his or her intake of a stimulant or a particular behavior. The inability to restrain oneself ultimately may have very bad consequences for an addict’s mental and physical health.
Physical and psychological addiction are the two major categories of the condition, although they frequently occur together. Physical addiction arises as a result of, for example, alcohol or heroin abuse, while a psychological addiction can be caused by an unhealthy attitude towards work, gambling, or sex.
An experienced addiction counselor will look at the different factors that may have contributed to development of the condition in a patient and apply this knowledge to provide an appropriate form of therapy. Many factors may increase one’s likelihood of becoming an addict, genetics, family history and one’s environment (e.g. peer pressure, lose relationships within family).
Addiction counseling is an important step on the road to recovery. Counseling therapy is there to help an addict control the cravings and the compulsion driving him or her to give in to the old destructive habits – often as a result of exposure to an external stimulus (e.g. stress, other people consuming alcohol).
At Thriveworks Counseling in Durham, our addiction counselors and psychologists are there to help the patients work through their problems and overcome an addiction. Seeking support is an important step on the path to recovery – contact us today to arrange your first counseling session with one of our mental health professionals.
