Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together we will do a brief introduction and then dive into the challenges that you are currently experiencing that brought you to therapy. In the following session we will identify goals that will guide us throughout your treatment.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I believe my greatest strength is my dedication to the success of my patients. My approach will be dependent on what your needs are at the time of the session. This includes providing validation, guidance, challenging your thoughts, providing alternative viewpoints and methods of coping, all when appropriate and therapeutic.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with adults who are eager to make a change in their life. If you are dedicated to yourself and your mental health, you are already headed for success.

So far, Dr. Wilson is helping dig into my life, understanding more about why I am the person I am today. She’s extremely understanding, non-judgemental and clear about what she is trying to do. Looking forward to continued sessions.
