I am a student intern at Spring Point Counseling in Huntersville, NC under the supervision of Timothy Spitzhoff. I help adults from a variety of populations with overcoming life hurdles and reaching their goals. I am especially passionate about working with individuals who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transition issues.

Every person is unique and of infinite value. Sadly, many children and youth struggle to see themselves this way. Anxiety, low motivation, depression, trauma, and broken relationships disrupt a young person’s ability to thrive. I want to offer a safe way and place to work on these issues. I will give parents and caregivers insights as they help their children experience big emotions. My approach to counseling involves creating a relationship with the student built on empathy, openness and trust.

I earned my graduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in Counseling with a concentration in addictions. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Charlotte Christian College and Theological Seminary in Urban Christian Ministries, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude. Areas of treatment include anxiety, stress, addiction, depression, grief & loss, and life challenges. My treatment approaches are evidence-based and include Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Person-centered therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR). I have completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

Experience more than counseling... Experience your life journey through transformational self-discovery! Are you coping with feelings of anxiety, depression, and/or anger? Are your marital issues so serious that you believe that you cannot carry on? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one? Is your teenager exhibiting difficult behaviors? Are you feeling burned out at work, searching for clarification in your career path, or trying to find meaning in life?... We will work together and empower you to help yourself! I have over 12 years of experience in bilingual individual, couples, and family counseling and life coaching.

My goal as your therapist is to help create a safe space and establish a trusting foundation to help you develop skills for managing intense emotion and reduce emotional distress. I will assist you in achieving personal goals, promote self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal development. I am dedicated to empowering my clients and working collaboratively with them to create a fulfilling life by fostering insight and mindful awareness of their emotional wounds and lived experiences.

Do you sometimes wonder why you never feel good enough? Do you find yourself questioning, “why me”? Why you; because you are strong and powerful! As a therapist, I help clients understand how the urge to please, be perfect, and over-perform can hinder one’s ability to be their genuine self. As your therapist, I will empower you to prioritize authentic connections, develop your own identity, establish boundaries, and reclaim your sense of belonging by learning to put yourself first, without guilt. My focus in the counseling session is for you to reclaim your life and come back home to yourself.

Life is not always easy. Sometimes life is challenging because of circumstances related to our actions; sometimes these challenges are a result of circumstances beyond our control. Regardless, these circumstances do not define us. It is, instead, our response to these circumstances that determines our course. My passion is working with individuals and families who are facing these storms. I love walking with my clients through these storms and into a bright new day. It is my hope that each of my clients will learn not just to weather and survive these storms but rather to conquer and overcome them.

While starting therapy can seem daunting, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space in which we'll explore your concerns together. Therapy is a journey of rediscovering clarity, purpose, and joy. I have experience working with a culturally diverse population and provide individual counseling to adolescents and adults. My focus is on counseling clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, stressor related issues, anger management, interpersonal skills deficits, and cultural integration difficulties. As every client is unique, I tailor my therapeutic approach to match the client's needs, values, and goals.

Certain life experiences can feel very isolating, especially when we feel we have no one around who can understand, recognize or truly hear what we’ve been through. At this point, you may feel like you merely exist, therefore you keep everything to yourself as you feel no one around you has the capacity to handle what you’re experiencing. Please allow me to let you know, you are not alone in what you’re feeling. Whether you find yourself struggling with addressing your traumatic experiences or managing daily stressors, therapy provides the space in which you can share your thoughts and emotions without the fear of judgement.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with the chaos of life, stressed over relationships, alone even when surrounded by others? The first step to taking control of life is the hardest, and I would love the opportunity to help you reach your optimal life vision.

Always trying to be "perfect" is exhausting. Even though you're a high-achiever, you may still feel like you're not good enough, compare yourself to others, and ruminate over past mistakes. Maybe you notice those negative thoughts translate into how you perceive yourself physically and you struggle to accept yourself. You want to feel reconnected and in control, physically and mentally. I specialize in empowering compassionate young women who are struggling with anxiety, body image, and eating disorders to find peace and acceptance within yourself and regain self-trust.

Life's challenges can often feel like too much to handle, but you don't have to face them alone. As a licensed counselor with a background in mental performance coaching, I specialize in empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and thrive in their lives. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or navigating through depression, I am here to support you every step of the way.

It takes a village to raise children and I am honored to be a resource for families during their journey. Whether your child is experiencing difficulties managing his or her emotions, has problems with impulsivity, is processing a traumatic event, or is lacking self esteem, there are strategies that can help. I utilize a person centered approach to counseling, meaning I strive to meet my clients where they are and encourage them to build on their natural abilities. I incorporate experiential techniques and cognitive behavioral skills into sessions to help my clients feel empowered to utilize these skills in their day to day life.

Life can be difficult and at times we all need someone to come along side us and help us face those difficulties. As a counselor, I consider it a great privilege to partner with people struggling with a variety of issues and offer them a safe place to help them work toward true healing and freedom.

The life you had is gone. And you are alone facing an uncertain future. The storm of suffering has so consumed you, the struggles of everyday living bear no resemblance of who you are. The changes are present everywhere. There’s nowhere to put down this burden of loss and nowhere to escape this pain. There’s just you, alone and unsure how to move forward. Your mind desperately grasps at questions: Will I always feel this way? How long can I stand this? Will I survive?

When one area of your life is under stress, it affects everything else. When emotional health is compromised, physical health is too. All facets of well-being are inseparable and intertwined. It can be exhausting trying to keep it all together. Thus, my passion is addressing the needs of the whole person, not just one dimension. With warmth, sincerity and humor, I create a safe space for getting to the root of what’s going on.

Are you feeling stuck, lost, or don't know what to do? Let me help. I work with girls ages 10 and up, and women experiencing eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, and ARFID. If you or someone you love is experiencing an eating disorder, it can be isolating, frustrating, scary, and all consuming. Often people do not fully understand why this is controlling their life, how it began, and can feel unable to make changes. Allow me to come along side you so we can uncover the root causes of the disorder and make meaningful changes in your life, and help you become the person I know you can.
