I have had the privilege of providing therapy in Wilmington, North Carolina, since 1996. I love being a therapist and enjoy connecting with individuals and families. I believe that growth and healing is fostered in an environment of kindness, compassion, curiosity, and acceptance. We all experience times when we are thrown off course and could benefit from a compassionate voice to help us identify our needs and purpose. Sometimes one small step can lead to a beautiful transformation of how we feel and see ourselves.
I have several areas of interest ranging from helping kids with anxiety to supporting adults with big changes such as shifting careers, divorce or co-parenting. Figuring out what we want and need is an important therapeutic endeavor. I am flexible in my approach to meet the needs of the individual. Developing a deeper sense of well-being is at the core.
I like Carl Rogers' quote, "Therapy is not about doing something to the individual, or of inducing him to do something about himself. It is instead a matter of freeing him for normal growth and development, of removing obstacles so that he again can move forward."
