(she/her)
Having coped with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and PTSD throughout my life, counseling is not just a profession for me; it is an opportunity to share the skills that I use every day. My own journey with mental health challenges gives me empathy and understanding, enriching my ability to connect with others who are struggling. I have met with 100s of clients and I would love to meet you!
Many clients tell me they feel comfortable with me right away. In our first session, we will review the information you’ve already provided and clarify what you’d like to accomplish in therapy. There’s no need to feel pressure to know exactly what to talk about—I’ll guide the process and help the conversation flow naturally.
What makes me unique as a counselor is that I’ve personally experienced many of the challenges my clients face. In the past, I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and panic disorder, and I continue to live with an ADHD diagnosis today. Because of this, clients often tell me they feel truly understood, and I draw on my lived experience to help you believe that meaningful change is possible. Another comment I hear often is, ‘I never dreamed I would laugh this much in therapy.’ I strongly believe that humor and laughter can make the difficult feel more manageable.
I am best positioned to support women between the ages of 30 and 60 who are navigating the overlapping challenges of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Many of the individuals I work with have spent years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or out of sync—especially those who may have gone undiagnosed with ADHD for much of their lives. They often come into therapy feeling mentally scattered, emotionally exhausted, and unsure of their direction. I work particularly well with clients who feel stuck, confused, or disoriented and are ready to gain clarity and move forward. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can better understand how their mind works and begin to make sense of their experiences. A key part of my work is helping clients shift how they view themselves. Together, we identify strengths alongside challenges and reframe patterns with greater self-compassion. I also focus on practical coping strategies to manage overwhelm, improve focus, and regulate emotions. Clients who are motivated to better understand themselves and create meaningful, lasting change tend to benefit most from working with me.

I'm thankful for the rapid rapport and safety Wilma established with me in our first session. This was a relief and set me up for growth.

I've never felt comfortable enough to talk with someone so in depth about how I feel. She is all of the options there and then some. I feel so so safe with her. She tells me how it is, but does it in such a warm and respectful way. I love our monthly meetings and I truly hope we can go to weekly soon.

As someone who has been in therapy prior to this, i couldn’t have liked a better therapist and highly recommend her. She is genuine and such a great provider.
