Therapists in Wilmington, NC

You deserve to LIVE your life fully! Are you stuck, merely existing, on autopilot, and just making it through your day? Pulled in too many directions and disconnected from yourself and the world? Life gets unbalanced and we shut down. Our emotions start taking control of us in the worst possible moments: we avoid with anxiety, isolate with sadness, and hide with guilt. What would you do if your thoughts and emotions didn’t hold you back? I want you to be free to live your life on YOUR terms and find meaning in all areas of life. Together we can work on your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to build your life worth LIVING.

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!

Living in a culture that values efficiency and productivity over personal wellbeing can be a nightmare to navigate in a healthy way. We are often taught to put our personal needs secondary to our work or others. Results include isolation and loneliness, lowered self esteem, people pleasing, burnout, addiction, and more. Many of us are pulling our bootstraps to the point of them breaking apart at the seams. However, it is important to know that we do not have to live this way. While finding a new rhythm is not without it's challenges, it is a process that I undoubtedly believe is worth the effort.
