Counseling is a place of acceptance where you can learn to see your true value. You hold the keys to your happiness. You just need support to unlock that door. Doing it alone will keep you stuck. You can learn to trust again. I received specialized training in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am also a Registered Play Therapist and enhance parent-child communication. I have an office where I see individuals and families. I also have two large rooms where I teach parents how to use Play Therapy Skills.

I am offering immediate appointment slots and flexible rates during this difficult time. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression due to COVID-19? Do you feel uncertain about how to move forward during this difficult time? You may feel trapped or hopeless, but I can help you with proven coping skills and by working with you to create a new perspective. My life experience provides a solid foundation upon which I have built my techniques and interventions. In addition to my work with adults, I have experience with teens and young adults, and enjoy connecting with them and helping them navigate life and family challenges.

I spent 25 years in corporate America before earning my master's degree in professional counseling. This experience has given me insight into the stresses in the workplace. Having been a long time sufferer of anxiety, I can empathize with the weight of this emotion while also sharing techniques that have helped me live a better, more enjoyable life.

We are living in uncertain times and COVID fatigue has made daily life even more difficult to manage. It can feel overwhelming, but I will work with you to re-train your brain so that your automatic thought patterns are encouraging instead of fearful.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Cornelius

Finding the right therapist in Cornelius, NC starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or a life transition — or whether you're looking for more general support. From there, look for a licensed provider (such as an LCMHC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who has experience in that area. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they feel like a good fit before you book.

Cornelius is part of the larger Lake Norman and Charlotte metro area, which means you have access to providers based locally as well as those in nearby towns like Davidson, Huntersville, and Mooresville. Many therapists in this area offer both in-person and virtual sessions, giving you more flexibility with scheduling. If virtual care works better for your routine, you can connect with any provider licensed in North Carolina from wherever you are in the state.

Therapy in the Charlotte metro area can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to lower your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. That makes it easier to find a provider who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
