Are you located in the Shelby/Cleveland County area of North Carolina or any nearby counties and struggling with life circumstances? I’m here to provide that safe place and help sort out any concerns that are consuming your time and energy. I love working with children starting at (8yo) to adults. Contact me to schedule an appointment.
I utilize the Person-Centered approach and incorporate other modalities as needed. I specialize in anxiety, depression, anger management, self esteem, ADHD, school problems, couples therapy, family therapy, and other concerns. I will provide a safe and confidential place for us to collaborate.
I would love to walk with you on your journey to healing. Reach out to schedule.
