You feel drained, exhausted and completely frustrated. Your partner is clueless about how to connect with you and you are sure there is no possible way you could make it clearer! They’re just as angry and frustrated. The tension is palpable. And you feel, naturally, angry, lonely, tired. It’s painful. You have put your heart in to this relationship and you are not ready to throw in the towel but the attempts you each make to fix it only land with a thud and result in you both feeling like a failure.

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree from Appalachian State University and am a proud Mountaineer. Still, I moved to Wilmington because the ocean reminds me that I am part of something bigger. I love working with children, teens, and young adults (ages 10-35 years of age).

Anxiety takes various forms-tension, sleeplessness, or racing thoughts. If these signs disrupt your life and hinder your ability to enjoy daily activities, it’s crucial to recognize that you don’t have to face it alone. Anxiety is not always a bad thing. It is our bodies natural reaction to the environment around us. We do not face the same dangers that we did thousands of years ago, but we still have the same alert system. For some people, this reaction is far stronger than what the situation calls for. By acknowledging and addressing anxiety’s impact, you’re taking a proactive step towards self-discovery and empowerment.

You deserve the love you so freely give to others. – Alexandra Elle. For many of us, it is so easy to give, encourage and lift up the people we care about, and to pour into others without a second thought. These same folks often find it is a challenge to look after their own needs. They feel tired, compassion fatigued, or ready to give up. We get stuck in our thought patterns and routines and never stop to ask ourselves, "When was the last time I took care of me?" If you're looking to bring restoration and balance back to your life, therapy may be the best way to start.

So, you want to know a little bit about me, I suppose. You can share your story with me later! One question I get asked a lot is how and why I chose this career. Here's the backstory: I knew that I wanted to be a therapist as a young child, but as it sometimes happens, life had an alternate plan for me and took a slightly different course for a while. Yes, I am also a person that had to take the long way to get to my dream of supporting people on their journey.

I have spent the bulk of my career helping children and their families to deal with a broad range of issues in healthy ways and to realize that their pasts do not have to limit their futures. For more than 20 years, I have enjoyed my practice with adolescents and adults with varying concerns, particularly trauma, depression, and anxiety. From years of working with high risk youth and adolescents, I am also very familiar with the juvenile justice system and with oppositional defiant or conduct disordered adolescents.
