Do you need someone to talk to, and someone to listen? Are you ready to make some changes in your life? You may need help dealing with struggles and challenges of day-to-day life. If so, you have just made an important step in the change process and are on your way to improved self-awareness and growth. I am an experienced, compassionate and caring counselor who helps people live better lives. Working with the right counselor can help you change your life and your relationships. You do not have to do this alone. By working together, we decide how to achieve your personal goals, even if you don't know what they are yet. As a licensed professional counselor with a warm and personable approach, I specialize in providing solution focused counseling, bringing over 20 years of experience working with couples, families, and individuals. I believe in the humanistic approach and treat everyone with respect and compassion. I work with clients of all ages.

By working together, we decide how to achieve your personal goals, even if you don't know what they are yet.

It can be hard to put your trust in someone else. I strive to create a comfortable environment that supports you voicing your concerns openly and honestly. My goal is to help you achieve behavioral and emotional growth while restoring harmony and balance in your life. Feel free to call to schedule an appointment. Available: weekdays, evenings, and weekends.

First session

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Strengths

Over the 20 plus years of working with individuals and families, I’ve developed a passion for utilizing innovative methods that help individuals seek to re-shape positive influences in brain chemistry by changing the way they think about themselves, their challenges, their life situations, and their surroundings.

Ideal clients

My clients are eager to improve, but may not have the tools or skills needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

We work together to develop skills needed to challenge negative thinking patterns that lead to depressive and anxious symptoms.

She is a very good listener and made me feel comfortable talking to her. She is also very understanding.

Dr. Wilson was incredibly friendly, and welcoming. I was told to expect to switch a few times until I find someone that I click with and can open up to. However, I feel like i really connect with you, and that you will be an amazing fit for what i am looking for. It was easy to talk to you, and i truly look forward to working with you. Thank you so much once again, Dr. Wilson. I appreciate your time and expertise.
