Christian Counseling for Anxiety, OCD, ADHD, Depression, and Relationship Challenges in Matthews, NC and Telehealth in NC

Every person has a story worth hearing. My passion is to provide a safe, compassionate, and Christ-centered counseling environment where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move toward healing and lasting change. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, relationship struggles, life transitions, or simply need someone to walk alongside you, I consider it a privilege to be part of your journey.

My goal is to help you experience hope, develop practical tools for everyday life, and discover lasting emotional and spiritual growth through evidence-based counseling tailored to your unique needs.

Education & Professional Background

I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHC-A).

I am also SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) Certified, allowing me to help engaged and married couples build healthy communication, strengthen their relationships, and establish a solid foundation for marriage.

Throughout my clinical experience, I have worked with adolescents, adults, men, women, and couples in a variety of counseling settings. Prior to joining SureHope Counseling, I served in an addiction recovery center, helping individuals pursue freedom from substance use and overcome life’s challenges through compassionate, evidence-based care.

Counseling Specialties

I enjoy working with clients experiencing:

• Anxiety Disorders
• Panic Attacks
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• ADHD
• Depression
• Eating Disorders
• Attachment and Relationship Concerns
• Adjustment Disorders and Life Transitions
• Addiction Recovery
• Couples and Premarital Counseling
• Veterans and Military Family Challenges
• Christian Counseling

Every person is unique, which is why I believe counseling should never be one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that reflects your goals, strengths, and individual experiences.

My Counseling Approach

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I primarily utilize:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Attachment Theory

I also integrate additional therapeutic approaches when they best serve your individual needs.

For clients seeking Christian counseling, I thoughtfully incorporate Biblical truth and Christian principles into the counseling process. I believe faith can be a powerful source of healing, hope, and restoration while always honoring your personal goals and preferences for therapy.

Begin Your Journey Toward Healing

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. My hope is that every counseling session leaves you feeling heard, encouraged, and equipped with practical tools to create meaningful and lasting change.

If you’re looking for counseling in Matthews, or anywhere in North Carolina through telehealth, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you pursue healing, growth, and renewed hope. I welcome you to contact SureHope Counseling to learn more or schedule an appointment.
