Therapists Beginning With W in North Carolina
I’m guided by my belief in the eternal worth and inherent wisdom of each person. Each individual is the expert of their own experience, and, within each of us, lies an immense power for self-healing. My therapeutic style can be described as warm, collaborative, and experiential. I view my role in this process as a facilitator, working alongside individuals as they reflect upon their experiences, broaden their awareness, and investigate ongoing behavioral patterns. Together, we may begin to freely explore prevailing paradigms and construct a more personalized path forward.

There are times in life that unexpected obstacles appear. There are also times when, in an effort to deal with problems, a person may have developed unhealthy methods of coping with expected, and unexpected, life transitions. During these times one can benefit from having an impartial, nonjudgmental, therapist to talk to with. I specialize in working with addiction, families who are affected by addiction, those experiencing depression, and anxiety,

Life can throw all forms of curveballs at us that we cannot control, where we sit and wonder what is going on. In life we get to a point where we stand up and say, I cannot do this alone. When we realize those challenges are too big to tackle alone, I am here to tell you it is okay to ask for help and know that there is support out there.
