Therapists in Gastonia, NC
A skilled therapist can help clients experiencing anxiety or depression or who are trying to work through challenges like family conflict or low self-esteem. If you’re looking for a therapist in Gastonia, consider online treatment. While help may be available in a community center or other behavioral health setting, barriers to treatment, like a lack of available appointments or transportation issues, can make finding in-person treatment challenging.

A BetterHelp therapist can guide you through the healing process and help you learn to manage the challenges of everyday life, from overcoming traumatic events to managing stress.

Working with a therapist one-on-one can help you overcome relationship challenges, which can support the family unit as a whole.

Sometimes we feel 'stuck.' Sometimes we experience negative emotions which we feel conflict with our values, morals, ideals. Sometimes we feel an emptiness. Like our inner flame...the one which burns inside, pushing us to set & pursue goals, dream, live life with a sense of anticipation...has dimmed, until just an ember. Sometimes our negative life experiences get us caught up in the lies of guilt and shame. Paralyzing us. Keeping us from moving forward. Perhaps it's more than 'just' feelings and emotions. Maybe symptoms of mental illness make life hard. And navigating through life, each day, each moment, feels like tedious work. However...please know there is help. There is hope. There is healing. There is so much more to life than what you may be currently experiencing. I have years of experience serving others. I have taught middle school and high school English; worked as a therapist in community mental health and private practice; and worked as a school counselor. I am a counselor who is a Christian. And although I truly believe that the spiritual aspects of an individual’s whole self should be explored and nurtured in therapy, whether or not we explore the spiritual dimension of life will be up to you. I have a passion working with those who feel they are not living life to its fullest. Why? Because I truly believe each of us has the ability to fully participate in a life which excites and fulfills.

I believe for a person to thrive one MUST first be willing to examine themselves and be courageous enough to take the necessary steps to heal. Motivated by the desire to help and have a positive impact on others in the community, a career in therapy is fitting and intrinsically rewarding for me. As a therapist I aim to help adults ages 23 and older who struggle with mental health, trauma, addiction, or various life challenges. Every session we develop a genuine and therapeutic relationship that combines a person centered approach with mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and various trauma techniques. Whether you require professional and clinical expertise, need to work through a difficult time in your life, or want to process through strong emotions, I'm here to help.

I am a solutions-focused Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in North Carolina since 2009. I have extensive experience working with adult populations and, in particular, those who struggle with depression, anxiety, and existential concerns. I hold a masters degree in professional counseling as well as masters degrees in two other disciplines (business, education). I am active in higher education having served as an undergraduate human services instructor since 2009. If we choose to work together, we will spend time exploring how your beliefs and thoughts influence your feelings and behaviors (i.e., a cognitive-behavioral approach). We will also focus on what truly motivates you and use that information to determine goals that are both relevant and doable (i.e., a motivational interviewing approach). I will work with diligence to provide a space for you to explore both your thoughts AND your feelings. If this sounds compelling, feel free to schedule an appointment!
