I got my MA in Dance/Movement Therapy and Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2009 and have since worked mostly in community mental health. I'm excited to move more fully into working with women in transitional spaces of life looking for support and validation about their desires and next steps. I also work with preschool age children in their homes or school to help behavioral and relationship issues.
I view clients as whole people in the context of their lives. You are more than just a diagnosis. It's important to me to collaborate in setting goals, selecting an approach to therapy, and checking in along the way. I've worked with people from a broad range of backgrounds on anxiety, stress, relationships, life transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues.

Good to meet you.
Research shows that the single most significant driver of change in therapy is the relationship between the client and therapist. I believe effective counseling requires compassion, acceptance, empathy, trust, curiosity, honesty, and a true sense of connection.
I work to cultivate a space where clients feel understood, supported, and emotionally safe. I aim to help clients build clarity, confidence, and a deeper connection to themselves and their relationships.
Through an approachable, engaging style which brings humor, compassion and an unrelenting belief that things can get better, I strive to help clients develop effective patterns of thought and skills in order to achieve greater success and satisfaction in their lives and relationships. As a trauma specialist, I've cultivated a compassion and broad understanding of experiences & biological responses that inform our mental-emotional well-being.
My therapeutic approach is anchored in trauma informed, creative and mind-body practices, ensuring that the people with whom I work receive high quality care that addresses their concerns at the heart, as this is where we see real, transformational change. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a Level 2 Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, (CCTP-II) and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP).
I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience walking alongside youth, adults, and families through the many chapters of life. My passion is to see every person connected to my work step into the fullest version of who God created them to be. I firmly believe in the power of His Word to remind us of our purpose, His plans, and the truth of how deeply we are loved.
It is my heart’s desire that each individual I serve experiences healing from the inside out. Restoring of peace, renewing of hope, and empowering them to shine their light everywhere they go.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wilmington
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.
