In the 90's I was instrumental in bringing divorce mediation to the New Hanover County court system.
After receiving my Doctorate degree from the University of Virginia in 1973, my family and I relocated to Wilmington, NC. I have been in full time private practice since 1981 and an integral part of the psychology community. My personality traits include sensitivity, compassion, and an active sense of humor. Nevertheless, no therapist is right for everyone, and I encourage new patients to have 3-4 sessions with any counselor before judging whether there is a connection. If we connect, great. If not, I am happy to assist patients in finding healthy and appropriate therapists suitable for them.

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.
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.

Specialities include major life transitions such as grief and loss, divorce and blended families, vocational challenges, overwhelming tension/stress or low outlook.
I have had good success with working with the resolution of depression and anxiety with clients for over 35 years. I work with people who are trying to improve their marriage or reluctantly must decide another direction. Sometimes men are ambivalent about trusting therapy. While the national norm is that therapist caseloads are 70/30 % women more than men, my norm is an even split between men and women. Men do find they can make headway on stubborn relational or emotional issues. I also see adolescent boys as they make their transition into young manhood.

Sometimes the human experience, known as life, presents us with challenges that we do not feel prepared to handle. These challenges may take the form of relationship difficulties, job uncertainties, parenting issues, grief and loss, feelings of depression, anxiety, or simply life transitions. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked in a myriad of settings including a public mental health clinic, university campus, military installations, as well as private practice. In my 20 years of experience, I have learned that people are more alike than they are different, in that, we just want to experience happiness more fully.
