Therapists in Wilmington, NC

My practice is informed by a few basic beliefs: I believe that people are doing the best that they can with the resources they have available to them; I believe with adequate support and guidance, we all have the ability to develop new skills and reach our potential; and I believe that therapy is grounded in a trusting relationship, which is enhanced by my clinical knowledge. My approach combines multiple modalities to tailor treatment to your individual needs and is rooted in the understanding that my ability to adapt is key to you achieving success. I enjoy working with individuals and families, as well as adolescents and parents.

Hello! I'm so glad you're here. I work to support folks of all ages to address eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and family of origin concerns.

At some point in our lives, we all experience pain or illness. So, what happens when pain or illness becomes a defining point in our lives? We may not do the things we used to do, we may not feel like ourselves, we may not live our lives the way we thought we would. BALANCE Integrative Care, PLLC, recognizes how broadly and deeply pain or illness may affect our lives. Our services support people to manage or cope with pain or illness in a way that allows them to live their lives more fully.

I enjoy working with teens and adults. I have over 17 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, major life changes, relationship problems, ADHD, mood disorders, and life stressors.

Every day is a chance to make a new start! I LOVE what I do, and it is a great privilege to help people on their journey through life. I welcome clients of all ages and all backgrounds. I have extensive experience working with youth and young adults. am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Life Coach and a NC Licensed School Counselor. I like to incorporate Positive Psychology & Humor into my sessions. I believe nature can be healing, so I offer Nature Therapy sessions...therapy outdoors! I offer evening and weekend sessions as well. Don't Have Insurance? I offer a discounted self-pay rate for clients without insurance:)

I believe that an atmosphere of trust, compassion, and empathy is at the core of any healing process. Within this context, I provide guidance in uncovering patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that lie at the root of present day difficulties. Often, issues from the past, continue to have a direct effect on current feelings and circumstances. For others, the primary reason for seeking counseling may be related to a major life change or transition.

I view everyone from a “whole person” perspective and attend to their needs in various areas to increase self-awareness and capability. Each person has a unique history that plays a role in their beliefs and how they engage in the world around them. I believe the therapeutic relationship is an essential part of helping my clients reach their goals. I provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere and would love to help you unload your backpack of stress and challenges so that you may enjoy your journey through life.

My clinical experience includes working with adults with ADHD, bipolar, anxiety, relationship stressors, grief, divorce/separation, substance abuse, and addressing overall life adjustments that can be scary to handle on your own. I work with clients who desire to have a deeper understanding of life's challenges and who want to have the tools necessary to manage whatever life has to throw at them.

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.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. Our experiences in life although similar are still very individual and unique to each of us. It is normal to experience anxiety, fear, anger and sorrow however; when these emotions are extreme they can prevent us from being fully alive, spontaneous and joyful. It is during these times we may need assistance to better understand ourselves and make necessary changes. I commonly treat individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties that successfully resolve the issues causing these symptoms.

Are you taking care of everyone else but yourself. Do you find that you have to keep busy all the time, or else it feels like you’re wasting time. Are the emotions so much bigger than you can handle, and yet people just tell you “it is not that big of a deal.” Is it hard keeping friendships, because you find that you do all the communication. Get the emo playlist ready, and let's dig into that shit together. I can help you to find ways to reduce the hold anxiety and depression has on you.

I believe in the inherent ability of a person to heal and make changes that will help establish a full and meaningful life experience. It is often the messages we learn subtly and hold onto, about what our experiences mean, about ourselves and the world around us, that inhibit this natural process of self acceptance and positive growth. As part of the therapeutic relationship, my hope is to provide a supportive space, and a sense of unconditional positive regard, for one to explore the conflicts that keep us "stuck" today.

Welcome, thank you for taking time to explore therapy, I know if can be a difficult journey getting here so good for you for taking this step! I am always humbled to be a part of someone's mental health care journey. I enjoy working with folks who are navigating all of life's issues, including recovery from trauma, high anxiety, depression and relationship issues. My practice is goal oriented and intended to support you with making the changes you want to make in order to show up as your most authentic and happy self.

You might be seeking therapy because you feel like no one has your back, that you just can't handle how much crap keeps pilling up on you, because you doubt your ability to manage the craziness of life, the heaviness of it, the complications of family that you love, but who don't always treat you with love and care, you feel weighed down by "failures" and unable to see your strength and successes despite surviving one hard thing after another, and often with limited or poor support. Or maybe you just feel broken and that no one else cares. The truth is most people aren't broken. They may have hearts or minds that have been sprained, but with the right treatment, they can heal. When people come to see me who feel that "no one cares about them" I'm always reminded of how important it is that AT LEAST ONE PERSON cares...and the fact that they got to my office tells me that the MOST important person they can have rooting for them in their life CARES - THEY CARE. They care enough to get the support they need. And that's the first step to widening that circle to create healthy connections so that they don't have to carry that care alone.
