Our therapists offer anger management therapy in Cornelius, NC

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with 28 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, college students, adults, and couples. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, and relationship challenges. I strive to create a supportive, affirming environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

I earned my master’s degree in agency and community counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University. My clinical approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy and person-centered therapy, helping clients understand how thoughts and behaviors influence emotions while building insight, resilience, and meaningful change.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, validated, and genuinely understood. I will walk alongside you as you explore your experiences, develop effective coping skills, and work toward your personal goals. Seeking counseling is a powerful step forward, and I welcome the opportunity to support you on that path.

My approach to effective counseling treatment is Person Centered Therapy, which focuses on meeting the individual where they are, developing a rapport, and providing unconditional positive regard.

When working with potential clients, I carefully tailor my approach to their specific needs, wants, dreams, desires, and outcomes.
