I believe there is power in learning to balance our lives emotionally and spiritually. I have 20-plus years as a counselor and have been able to help clients find emotional and general life balance. I draw from primary treatment modalities of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Solution Focused, Psychodynamic and Existential Theories. Ideally, at the conclusion of counseling, a client will be able to actively deal with their internal states in a way that allows them to feel more at peace with increased self-esteem, and well-being.
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.
With over 27 years of clinical experience, I invite you to a compassionate, non-judgmental, and safe place place for healing and growth. Here you will be able to process current emotions, make sense of your past, and understand how your struggles adversely affected you. Together we'll address mood disorders and uncover negative perceptions that have impacted you and your relationships.
I specialize in working with interpersonal conflict, behavioral issues, anxiety, life cycle transitions, depression, and helping clients recognize and build on strengths to overcome challenges.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with over 18 years of experience. I have helped individuals enhance their lifestyles and feel confident resolving problems, improving relationships, and communication skills. I've also helped individuals who struggled with substance abuse and unhealthy relationships. I offer bilingual (English/ Spanish) as well as in-person and online.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Gastonia, NC
Searching for therapists in Gastonia starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match what you want to address. A profile that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy can help you understand how that therapist may work with you.
In a smaller city like Gastonia, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. Some people prefer an office visit near central Gastonia, Crowders Mountain, or nearby communities, while others choose virtual sessions that fit around work, school, or caregiving. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for availability, session format, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Gastonia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated cost before you book. You can compare therapists, read profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
