Psychiatrists in Durham, NC

Hi! I'm an Adult, Adolescent and Child Psychiatrists currently accepting new patients between the ages of 6 and 60. My goal is to help you or your child with a wide range of mental health issues including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Anxiety Disorders, peripartum mood disorders, and trauma-related disorders.

I am a psychiatrist who works primarily through insight-oriented psychotherapy. I treat patients who are missing a sense of balance, meaning, connection, or purpose in their lives, who feel stuck with regard to career, romance, or family, who notice concerning, repetitive, or self-destructive patterns in relationships, mental attitudes, or behavior, and who struggle with the lingering effects of abuse, neglect, or other challenging life experiences. My expertise in psychotherapy and the medical practice of psychiatry enables me to offer thoughtful, comprehensive and individualized treatment, which may or may not include medication.

I am a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in Chapel Hill with 25 years experience helping people to heal and transform emotional distress by talking freely and deeply about their lives. As a physician, I understand when medications may be needed to heal physiologic emotional distress. But I also know that a person who is listened and responded to with deep understanding will become clearer, stronger and freer to grow -- within themselves, in their relationships and in their work. This unique, personal therapeutic experience often leads to the most complete and lasting cure, and success in life.

The Sage Institute is a private practice that encourages and empowers individuals to live their optimal lives. I provide psychiatric medication management services integrated with supportive therapy. I practice with patience and open-mindedness to help meet you where you are. Visits are tailored toward your needs and goals. The mind, body, and soul are at the core of each individual. We are all unique and should be treated as such. I can help you decide if psychiatric medication is right for you and work with you to optimize your medication plan as well as consider a range of interventions to support your mental health.

Life comes with many challenges that are not meant to be faced alone. Inviting someone into your story, your journey, and your hardships is not easy, but it is the first step to your healing and wellness. If you are tired of doing life alone and want to experience fulfillment in your soul that will bring abundance to every part of your life, take that first step today and reach out for support. I am a compassionate and dedicated practitioner who believes each client is unique and worthy of the best care. My approach is wholistic and person centered with the understanding that there are many factors that impact your mental health.
