My approach centers on your goals and on building clear, actionable steps to reach them. I have a passion for working with high-achieving professionals, leaders, and driven individuals who are ready to heal and grow even further. Many of my clients come to therapy looking to manage stress more effectively, strengthen their relationships, work through emotional patterns that have been holding them back, communicate with more clarity and confidence, or develop stronger leadership and life skills. I bring together clinical expertise and leadership development experience to create an approach tailored specifically to you. Text me today.
Many people carry pressure silently in the form of stress, expectations, responsibility, and emotional weight that no one sees. I help clients build mental strength and emotional clarity while improving self-control, relationships, and confidence. We take an approach that is practical, structured, and focused on results.
I'm part of the team at Santos Counseling and I am in-network with Aetna, BCBS/Anthem, Cigna, Medcost, Meritain Health, and Carolina Behavioral Health Alliance (CBHA). We are out of network with all other plans but can check coverage and submit claims for you. You can call or email our admin team with questions.
