Some people experience more trauma than others. Success in therapy is feeling comfortable telling me what’s working for you—but also what isn’t working. It’s about what we can accomplish together to help you face hardship and emerge stronger and with greater purpose. That doesn’t mean your worst day is behind you. But I would like the opportunity to help you see the path that makes sense to you, and to provide you with tools that will help you daily. There is no handbook to make things easier, but there is a cooperation between us that forges strength out of your individuality and empowers you to see through the chaos into the calm.

I have over 25 years experience doing therapy and evaluations for all ages. As a therapist, through compassion, listening, and active skill-building, I help individuals, couples and families increase understanding of issues and make changes needed to function better and feel better. While 25 years of experience guides my understanding of issues and my ability to help, in that time I have also developed a deep respect for the uniqueness of each person who comes to me, thus I approach each person with an eye to that uniqueness and how we can harness it to improve things.

Dr. Welterlin and her team of colleagues are pleased to provide outstanding, neurodiverse-affirming care with specialization in autistic women, girls and gender diverse individuals (but we also work with boys and men!). Our work is driven by a deep respect for inclusion and neurodiversity. We treat our clients as equal partners and equal citizens. We do not deny services or a diagnosis due to reasons such as having: neurotypical traits that aren’t “traditionally” autistic, a strong desire to socialize, been told by another professional or most in your life that you could do not have autism.

Sex has long been considered a taboo topic and so is often difficult to talk about. I believe it’s important to openly engage in vulnerable discussions about sex, sexuality, and gender. By doing so, we can work together to break down stigmas and create easier access to education and resources, ultimately leading to better sexual health and wellness. At Carolina Sexual Wellness Center, I welcome the opportunity to foster open dialogue with my clients, especially those from underrepresented groups with intersecting identities who lack easy access to tailored sexual health resources.

I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anything from anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and addictions to stress management, relationships, boundary setting, difficult life events, and finding identity. I also work with people with co-occurring I/DD. Learning skillful ways to listen to, and cope with, emotions and the life events eliciting them is the first step toward healing and finding balance in life. Often that includes unlearning maladaptive coping skills, like alcohol and drug use, avoidance, or self harm. In therapy, my goal is to help develop coping skills, build confidence, and find balance.
