Accepting New Clients. My passion is working with people who are teetering in crisis mode and want to establish peace in their life. Sometimes the crisis can be a trauma or it might be a marital or family conflict. I enjoy helping people who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and addiction/recovery. I am comfortable working with military families, and I appreciate cultural differences. I want to help you identify your struggle, explore all potential solutions, and develop goals to overcome the obstacles.

My extensive experience includes working with service members/veterans and their families as well as children ages birth-five and their families. I enjoy working with adults with infertility issues and women or men who have experienced sexual trauma. I also work with adolescents who have different mental health challenges. My desire is to help you and your family learn how to express who you are and to experience growth. I hope to help you and your family with developing good intuition, creating healthy connections, and becoming more of your authentic self (selves). I want you to experience more joy and peace within your life.

Oftentimes we find ourselves taking the scenic route through life. It can become overwhelming dealing with one obstacle after another, not being able to put your finger on exactly what’s wrong. It’s times like this along our route that we need someone to talk to, to provide us a little help with learning to control the direction of our life. I can be that person, helping to improve your mental health while promoting well-being in a safe respectful environment, free of judgment where trust can be built and truth found.

NOW Accepting Adults! I practice Child Centered play therapy with children and adolescents. I have worked with this population for over 20 years. I am also a Parenting coordinator and coach for high conflict divorce cases throughout the New Hanover County court system. I offer divorced couples counseling, and I am now seeing adult patients as well.

Life can be very difficult at times, and I want to help. I have had the opportunity to train in a variety of therapeutic modalities, making me uniquely qualified to utilize the interventions that are most appropriate for each of my clients. In order to determine the most appropriate form of treatment, I collaborate with each of my clients to determine the issues they would like to address and the goals they would like to achieve. We are then in a better position to determine the most efficacious treatment modality.
