Therapists in Matthews, NC

I have a passion for working with clients from many diverse backgrounds. I grew up in a small town where mental health awareness was not always present and children, like myself, who were going through their own unique and individual challenges did not always have support or an outlet for expressing their emotions. I aim to work with clients who are searching for this same type of support environment and positive outcomes through making plans for their growth. This is in connection with using research-based mental/emotional health strategies to achieve goals and create authentic and personal changes in their lives.

I am a parent & child advocate, family & individual therapist, and pastoral confidant. My work with families & individuals, young and old, help them achieve understanding, meaning and direction for the current issue of today, and those that will occur in the future.

I aim to live by the instruction to "love your neighbor as yourself". As a mental health professional, this is exemplified by the respect, dignity, and integrity I have for all of my clients.

At the first meeting with my client, they are encouraged to share their story. I believe that everyone is an expert on their own life experiences. Clients are supported in making strength based treatment plan goals, encouraged towards client centered treatment and assisted in implementing the changes.
