Family Therapy in Wilmington, NC

Hi! Thank you for visiting my page. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been in the mental health field for almost fifteen years. I enjoy helping people and would like to help you reach your goals. I believe that the most important thing in therapy is the relationship between the client and his/her therapist.

Each individual experiences the world differently and deserves therapy tailored to their own specific needs. In my person-centered practice I draw from multiple therapeutic lenses, placing an emphasis on expressive and nature-based therapies. I believe that self-expression is a necessity, as is expanding our relationship with the natural world. While I have my own big ideas about things, you can also expect that I will hold space to be proven wrong! You are the master of your own experience – I am here to collaborate to find what works best for you.

Do you ever feel worried, unmotivated, or like you're struggling with your relationships? You are not alone! Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed by our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for working collaboratively with you to learn new ways of overcoming life’s challenges. Focusing on building connections and improving communication with the people we love the most can improve your quality of life. Often times the best first step to getting better is simply the act of being heard and feeling truly understood.

Currently accepting new clients!- - I offer therapy that is collaborative and person centered, providing real life strategies, tools and resources to help you reach your goals. I am passionate about working with clients facing challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management and life transitions. My goal is to help clients grow, heal and develop a better understanding of themselves in a comfortable and supportive space.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or defeated? Maybe you feel like life has thrown you too many curve balls recently. I am here to help you work towards solutions to improve your every-day life. You might be a parent who is concerned with a behavior your child is exhibiting, a teen who is looking to work through challenges, or a young adult who is figuring out your new roles in life. Through therapy tailored to your needs, I’m looking forward to working with you to discover solutions to challenges you’re facing. I’d love to help you improve your overall mental health and set goals towards a healthier you.

Hi! I'm a Bilingual Mental Health counselor licensed in North Carolina. Are you facing some challenges in your life? Perhaps you're navigating through anxiety, depression, relationship hurdles, major life changes, heartbreak, loss, or past traumas. I want you to know that I am here to help. I have a strong belief in the transformative power of counseling and genuinely believe that it can provide you with the necessary tools to overcome these difficult moments. :)

I am open and looking forward to meeting you and discussing your thoughts and concerns which are bringing you into therapy. In our first session, we engage in discussion to help identify your current stressors. I have found the optimum scenario is a person-centered approach to help us find a direction and a meaningful immersion into our work together. Therapy is a sacred practice and process which optimally helps to free us from the weight of our burdensome worries and fears. I believe we can learn to understand these challenges and appreciate the lessons as an opportunity to become more resilient and enthusiastically peaceful!

I am an experience License Clinical Social Worker and License Clinical Addiction Specialist in private practice.

I will work with you to help you to connect and/or reconnect with loving yourself again, by overcoming guilt and shame. It is easy to lose your way on this journey called life, but with an understanding therapist you do not need to be on this journey alone.

Accepting new clients! I enjoy working with 18+ adults and couples! Need a space to share your thoughts and feelings without judgment? How about moving out of that "stuck space" and forward in your life with improved relationships, attitudes about work/school and solutions for areas identified as causing distress? Sessions will focus on learning to" think about your thinking", building knowledge and awareness of self, and solving problems with proven skills that apply across all types of situations. I lead with heart, a collaborative spirit, and a belief in people. I am a strengths-finder, encourager, and challenger!

Kevin Bacon was once asked, “What makes your marriage last?” He didn’t miss a beat: “Clean fighting and dirty sex.” He has a point. The way a couple fights truly impacts their health and their relationship. There are additional influences that create disharmony between two people. Loss of connection, loneliness and conflict avoidance are all precursors to infidelity. I work with couples in crisis from the recent discovery of betrayal and/or past addictions and other relationship struggles. Healing won’t be easy, but it is possible. It’s a painful journey that will take time. I work to make that journey easier.

Do you feel like there are problems that are blocking you from having the life that you really want? Do you want to find freedom from the issues that are holding you back? I use a variety of therapy techniques to help my clients. I know from personal experience that life can sometimes be very painful and challenging. I myself have struggled with these issues. I would love the opportunity to help you become the person you really want to be. I know that reaching out can be very difficult. I applaud you for having the courage to even try. Let me help you better yourself.

I specialize in helping children who have experienced trauma or traumatic grief, using TFCBT to reduce trauma symptoms experienced by the child with the support of their caregiver. I’m also committed to helping children understand and overcome other life challenges and stressors, such as depression, anxiety, familial separations, grief, poor self-esteem, and difficulties in school. I use an eclectic approach to develop a treatment plan and goals that suit the specific needs of each client while drawing from their intrinsic resiliency and strengths. I also have a training therapy dog to provide comfort and support to clients.

Dealing with life's challenges can feel daunting, frightening, and almost impossible to bear. You don't have to face them by yourself. I am committed to establishing a secure, supportive, and accepting space where you can openly express your difficulties. My goal is for those I support to experience healing as they navigate their individual paths. Every individual holds the potential for change, and I aim to help you acquire the necessary resources for positive transformation. Don't hesitate...get in touch, and let's embark on this journey together. It's time for you to prioritize yourself.

Hi! If you’re searching for a therapist, chances are you might be struggling with something in your life. I sure hope that whomever you choose to work with helps you feel better, think better, and ultimately process what’s happening with refined skills. You've got this! I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders and depressive disorders. I also value working with the LGBTQ population, including adolescents, families, and adults, as well as foster/adoptive families. Working with anyone who recognizes a need for change or is interested in making their life better is perfect for me!

I specialize in assisting individuals with honoring their most authentic selves as well as navigating some of life’s toughest transitions. As individuals, we are constantly going through transitions whether its welcomed or unwelcomed. Transitions can influence emotional distress and have you questioning your values in life. I can help clients with identifying important values, instilling boundaries, and honoring your most authentic self. I enjoy collaborative and client centered sessions where we both are active participants in the client’s overall wellbeing.

What I feel I have to offer people is a helpful relationship based on acceptance and safety. My hope is always that together within this supportive relationship you can feel free to explore your thoughts, feelings, strengths, challenges and choices. I've found that understanding and accepting where we are gives us a strong foundation to sustain positive change. In over 30 years of professional experience, I've never worked with a person whose conditions/situations did not make sense, once these experiences have been understood.

I truly believe that every person has the ability within themselves to think and feel positively, overcome their struggles, and be comfortable in their own skin. My role as a therapist is to help an individual deepen their understanding of life experiences that may affect emotions, thought patterns, perceptions, and behaviors.
