ADHD Therapists in Wilmington, NC

Accepting new clients both in person and virtually. Are you or your child struggling with mental health and school? Are you or your child struggling with anticipatory anxiety related to overwhelming workloads, talking to a teacher or coach, or interacting with peers? We all want to feel like we belong. We all want to find our place where we feel safe to be our true selves. Parents, have you been struggling with understanding why your child is struggling with negative behaviors, not listening, or disobeying rules? These are many, but not all, of the many impacts mental health can have on us individually and as a family unit.

Do you feel like your mental health is in shambles, and you don't know where to start? Find yourself going down the "what if" rabbit hole. Are you grappling with the exhaustion and stress from day-to-day pressures? Do you feel like it's too much to handle? You're not alone! These feelings can arise when we neglect to give our minds and bodies the time they need to heal. I believe that we are strong alone but stronger together. Together, we can build a life that authentically reflects your values. I approach therapy with mutual trust and respect, tailoring it to meet you where you are in your journey.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you feeling "stuck" in your journey, or maybe frustrated with where you are in your life? When you add in anxiety, depression, frustration from being unable to focus, grief, or any other mental health struggle, it probably adds to the whirlwind you feel like you're stuck in. Maybe you've been told "it could be worse," or to "be grateful," but this didn't make you feel any better. There are (usually) many different ways to look at a situation, but sometimes when you're in the thick of it, it's hard to see clearly. An outside perspective can help!

Together, we will work towards helping you live a better life - however that may be defined for you.

Each of us has a unique and special life journey. Sometimes however, we may feel alone, and our journey can be difficult and overwhelming. Our desire to focus on our emotions and care for ourselves can easily be put aside. Whether a first time parent, caregiver to children with special needs, a tween, teen and/or young adult transitioning to college, or adult experiencing any significant life transition, I am here to provide supportive counseling and guidance. We will work together to find coping skills and resources to help you and/or your family, all while identifying and harnessing the power of your gifts and strengths.

I believe the root of the therapeutic process lies within the relationship not only between the client and their counselor, but the relationship to one's self. One of my favorite quotes by Yogi Bhajan reads "You are very powerful, provided you know how powerful you are." It is also a passion of mine to guide clients to create meaning.

Putting your mental health as a priority can be a challenge. We all have many responsibilities that take up our time and attention.

Her goal is to help you understand yourself more and assist you with living a more open and mindful life.

Part of being human is experiencing a range of emotions... and they're not all rainbows and sparkles. Going through difficult times is a part of life. For most of us, we need or at least benefit from gaining support through those times. And, while it may be helpful to talk to a trusted friend or family member, therapy offers something different. Therapy gives you a totally safe place where you can explore your thoughts and behaviors with a trained professional who is non-biased. It is also a place where you can learn strategies to help you better deal with your challenges, set goals, and gain new perspectives. How great is that!?

Life can be incredibly challenging, especially when you're dealing with the weight of early life adversity, intense emotions, or relationship struggles. The effects of trauma, invalidation, or consistent relational trauma can leave lifelong impacts and make it feel impossible to navigate life effectively. These experiences can make it hard to see a way forward, but there is; and you don't have to move forward with this alone. You're taking a brave step by seeking help. I believe there is a path to healing and it starts with a non-judgmental, affirming, and validating environment.

Do you find yourself burdened by anxiety, no matter what you do? You might be exhausted from trying to manage all the thoughts that are constantly running through your mind. Your schedule and responsibilities keep you feeling anxious and overwhelmed, or like you can't measure up. Maybe it's becoming difficult to remember a time you didn't feel this way. You've tried on your own to feel better, and now you're ready to take the next step in finding relief. You want to feel more in control of your thoughts and actions. Most of all, you want to be free from the ways anxiety is holding you back.

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.

Your distressing emotions may be what bring you to therapy, but they can also be a doorway to hope, curiosity, insight, and self-compassion. These emotions are an invitation to access the strength and worth that are also within you, providing an opportunity to heal and move forward with greater ease. I have the privilege of working with individuals that are experiencing the anxiety, sadness and confusion that arise from complex trauma. These show up as issues in relationships, feelings of overwhelm, "stuck-ness", low self-worth and difficulty finding joy in life.
