Gastonia, NC - Accepting clients in FL
Young, old, rich or poor--- it does not matter your struggle as my virtual doors are open to assist you in achieving optimal wellness. I believe in meeting you where you are and offers therapy and wellness services in the office, home, community and schools. From the child struggling with ADHD, anxiety, or defiance problems to the adult grappling with depression, suicidal thoughts, or marital problems; to the elderly client mentally struggling with losing their independence or limited mobility, I strive to provide seamless and personally meaningful treatment and care.
My assessment of clients includes a careful consideration of the importance of fluctuating mental states and key relationships in their life, as well as family and cultural patterns. I strive to develop an understanding of the interconnection of an individual’s mind, body and soul. I join with you to help you discover meaning and purpose in your struggles.
Not only am I a Therapist, I’m also a Registered Nurse and currently finishing my studies to become a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I believe that the body heals with play, the mind heals with laughter, and the soul heals with joy.
With over nine years of dedicated experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting adults, children, and adolescents as they navigate trauma, anxiety, and depression. I’m here for those who feel overwhelmed by overthinking or find themselves constantly striving for more, often to the point of exhaustion.

I have holistic approach to therapy that values each individual's unique experiences and strengths. I am licensed in IL & FL. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences. Through active listening, empathy and evidence-based techniques, I assist you in gaining insight, coping skills and resilience.
