The holidays can be hard, hang on! 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, depressive disorders, and behavioral disorders. I also value working with the LGBTQ+ population, including adolescents, families, and adults, as well as foster/adoptive families. Need help with parenting!? I got you! :)
I am a skills-based, solution-focused therapist, meaning that I focus on how to make things better in your life currently, so that if/when you're ready to dive into things from the past, you'll be able to do so with a foundation of strength, preparedness, and adaptive strategies or "happy hacks!"
I’m a native of the Wilmington area and have worked in mental health for 20 years in various capacities. I value each person’s unique journey and the pathways to establish their independence. I love incorporating humor into my work and want you to leave our sessions feeling better than when you arrived.
