Stress and anxiety can leave us feeling overwhelmed, unsure and alone. You may be fed up with feeling constantly on edge, explaining it to others who don’t understand, or shame over feeling the way you do. You might not even remember a time when you didn’t feel this way. Either way, one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel relaxation in your body. You’re ready to feel like you can handle what comes your way. You’re ready to feel at peace with your decisions. Most of all your ready to live your life with purpose. You’re ready for a new “normal” and I can help you get there.
Sessions incorporate both your mind and body, so you can find deep healing. Together, we find new perspectives. And we always go at your pace, never pushing to a place you don’t feel ready to be.
As an experienced trauma informed therapist, I believe that your body knows what it needs to do to heal. You don’t have to continue feeling overwhelmed, and you don’t have to do it alone. Call me today for a free 15-minute consult. I look forward to hearing from you.
I approach sessions as an experienced professional and a real person. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as your full, uncensored self—say the hard things, the messy things, even the things you’re not sure how to put into words—and still feel accepted, heard, and supported. Many people reach out to me feeling overwhelmed by everyday stress, big world events, or the sense that things keep changing without much warning. It can feel like there’s no escape from stress, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Therapy can be a place to slow down, breathe, share humor, & talk things through with someone who’s really listening. My career spans 20+ years in mental health, addiction treatment, and disability services.
I hold a masters degree and am a licensed mental health counselor. I also hold a hefty life school certification. I am a nerd. I am an artist. That combination is pretty cool and useful in relating to you as a person and not a collection of problems to be fixed.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Wilmington, NC
Searching for therapists in Wilmington starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for therapy in Wilmington, NC for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. A profile that mentions experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or another relevant focus can help you understand whether the therapist may be a strong fit.
In a smaller city like Wilmington, local in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can also help you learn how each person describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Wilmington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Wilmington, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
