Since 1992, I have had the honor of accompanying countless individuals in their journey towards living more authentic and satisfying lives. I am convinced that everyone possesses the ability to live their life to its fullest potential. As your counselor, my role is to help awaken you to this dormant power within. I believe that we all function based on the beliefs instilled in us at an early age and are reinforced in various ways throughout our lives. It is when we begin to challenge these "truths" that we experience a great awakening and discover our true self.

You have a story to tell and have been carrying it with you for a long time. Somewhere along the way, you stopped sharing your story with other people. You became small. Smaller for everyone else. You tried to find a way to feel bigger but everytime you did, something seemed to go wrong. You’d say the wrong thing. Do the wrong thing. Hurt someone you love. You were like a “bull in a china shop”. Your attempt to find your way back to the people you love would only leave you feeling more alone. You might be feeling like things are harder than you bargained for, but this is not work that you have to do alone.

Approaching an initial psychotherapy session can be daunting. My approach seeks from the outset to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Whether you have worked with other therapists, or you have never spoken with a counselor before, you will find me approachable and welcoming. My style is very collaborative and open. I am here for you, and you alone; to address your concerns and provide the outcome you seek. While I have extensive experience treating anxiety and panic, I have successfully addressed a wide range of issues and concerns. I have over twenty-five years of experience to help you make the changes you seek.

I am in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, VA Community Care Network, and Medcost.
You’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck trying to hold everything together. Maybe you’ve tried to fix things on your own or even tried therapy before, but left feeling misunderstood or like nothing really changed. I work with people struggling with anxiety, stress, and life transitions who are ready for something more honest and meaningful in therapy. Together we slow things down, make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and begin creating real change. You don’t have to carry this alone. Therapy can be a place to feel understood and start moving forward.

Therapy doesn't have to be hard or scary when you've found the right fit. Many of my clients are thoughtful, caring people who often appear to have it all together while privately struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, communication difficulties, intimacy concerns, life transitions, or the impact of past experiences. Some feel disconnected from themselves or stuck in patterns they can't seem to change. Together, we'll create a safe, compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported as you move toward greater connection, confidence, and fulfillment. I would be honored to be part of that journey.

You are overwhelmed. You don't know how to keep up with the demands of life. You wonder, "how'd I get here?" You are sick and tired of being sick and tired. You want to laugh again and enjoy life again. You need a restart, a refocus but don't know where to begin. My clients are compassionate, kind, and motivated to help everyone else in their lives but have lost touch with themselves. They have spent so long saying yes to everyone else the idea of saying no and possibly disappointing others is crippling. You can work on finding yourself again. You don't have to do it alone.

In 2011, I decided to start studying to become a therapist after working as a classroom educator for 16 years, because I saw the failing of the educational system and the struggles of the family system. I started working as a therapist in 2016, and today, we all face a variety of emotional issues that are difficult for to express, name, and discuss. Many people feel as if no one is listening or will listen to them, especially adults on the Autism Spectrum who already struggle with communication. I want to help empower all people on the Autism Spectrum and their support systems.

I am in-network for BCBS, UHC, Aetna, VA Community Care, and Medcost, but my office can also provide a Superbill for out-of-network clients to help with reimbursement.
Taking care of yourself with a chronic illness is like a full time job. You need a calendar to manage the various appointments of doctors and specialists that you are fitting into the thousand other things you are trying to manage. You are overwhelmed and tired. You didn't sign up for this and want more for yourself. Does this sound like you? You are not alone, many of the clients I work with have felt this way. My clients are resilient, motivated, and persevering but living with their illness has weathered them and along the way they forgot these parts of themselves and need help being reminded.

Sometimes you just feel tired of pretending that you are fine when, in reality, you are barely hanging on. You show up for work, family, relationships, and responsibilities, but inside you are exhausted. Your mind is racing. Your confidence has taken a beating. Anxiety has you on edge, sadness drains your energy, and fear is running the show. And if one more person tells you to “just push through,” you feel like you might just lose it. Listen! You don't have to carry this alone.

It is frustrating to have tried everything, yet continue to feel in pain, sad, hopeless, stuck in the past, and worrying about the future, yourself, and your relationships. Stress, grief, trauma, chronic physical & mental illness can make you feel that way, affecting your quality of life (QOL). Imagine though a life where you get a boost of energy and motivation, quiet negative self-talk, cope better with stress, manage physical and emotional pain, build confidence, feel less worried, self-conscious and withdrawn, regain hope and pleasure in things you used to enjoy, live a healthier life style, and accomplish meaningful life goals.

I'm part of the team at Santos Counseling and I am in-network with UHC/Optum, Aetna, BCBS/Anthem, Cigna, Medcost, Meritain Health, and Carolina Behavioral Health Alliance (CBHA).
I enjoy working with people who are dealing with emotional shutdown, working through tension in their life or marriage, navigating the pressure of work, or trying to feel like themselves again. Many of my clients say the most valuable part of our work is learning how to stop repeating the same patterns and finally feel like they have tools that work outside the therapy room. My style is warm, direct, and practical. Sessions are not just “talk therapy.” We identify what keeps repeating, what’s underneath it, and what skills can create real change. Text 336-663-6570 to get started.

You deserve to feel heard and understood. Life transitions, experiencing trauma, navigating eating concerns, and understanding relationship challenges can be overwhelming and make you feel alone. New phases of life, going through a really painful experience, or managing our relationship with food and our bodies brings up things that may be unexpected or distressing. You may be asking yourself: What makes me feel most like myself? What are other people thinking? It can feel impossible to determine if you're where you "should" be as you also navigate everything that comes with being a teenager, college student, or young adult.
