Hi, I’m Wesley!

I’ve been working with couples and individuals for over 10 years, and I feel fortunate every day to be a therapist. I’m a certified Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy Therapist and Supervisor and use EFT in my work with couples. Every couple is a little different though, so I bring in other methods as needed.

If couples truly aren’t sure they want to stay together, we can talk about a process called Discernment Counseling. This gives the couple about 2 months to really analyze the pros and cons of staying together, and decide if they want to engage in couples therapy.

Throughout my work, I’ve seen many couples hit roadblocks to the relationship they want because one partner is neurodiverse. This can mean ADHD, Autism/Aspergers, Highly Sensitive Perception, and other ways of being that don’t fit into a category. By no means do all relationship issues come from neuro-differences, but I don’t think neurodiversity is considered nearly enough in couples therapy.

At my core, I have such a curiosity about people. There’s a quote I love from Doctor Who, when the T.A.R.D.I.S. takes the form of a woman, and asks, “Are all people like this? So much bigger on the inside?” And I think - yes! We really all are. I am endlessly intrigued and inspired and heartbroken by what humans have within us.

I live with my husband Matt and our anxious french bulldog, Henry. I grew up in California, and have lived in Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Virginia, and now North Carolina.

I love my work and my clients. I feel honored to be invited into people’s relationships and families. Here is information on my pricing, hours, and location.
