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!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Many clients tell me they feel comfortable with me right away. In our first session, we’ll 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.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
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.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, religious trauma, and LGBTQ+ concerns. My goal is to support you through the changes you would like to see happen in your life!
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use an eclectic approach, primarily utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, couples counseling, motivational interviewing, and supportive, trauma-informed therapy.

I've only had one session so far with Wilma, but I already feel so comfortable with her and that I am communicating in a safe place. I look forward to continuing my sessions with Wilma, and I feel thankful that I found the perfect counseling match.
