Headstart Counseling

About Headstart Counseling

Our Mission

As a National Certified Counselor, my mission is to empower individuals to face life’s challenges with resilience, clarity, and hope. I am dedicated to understanding your unique concerns and uncovering the deeper factors shaping your relationships and worldview. By integrating modern, evidence-based therapies with traditional approaches such as Psychodynamic Therapy and Logotherapy, I offer a diverse set of tools to foster growth, healing, and personal transformation. I specialize in online counseling and psychotherapy.

Inspired by Dr. Viktor Frankl's philosophy that "forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation," I strive to help you reclaim that freedom and create new chapters in your life story. Whether facing PTSD, anxiety, gender identity concerns, relationship challenges, or crises of faith, I am dedicated to providing compassionate support and actionable insights to help you move forward with confidence.

We provide personalized care to help you navigate life’s challenges and foster personal growth. By understanding your unique experiences, we work collaboratively to support your mental health and overall well-being.

Our expertise includes addressing anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, and issues related to race and ethnicity. We also help individuals build confidence and resilience through personal growth and self-esteem development.

Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, Faith-Based, Psychodynamic, and Solution-Focused Therapy, we tailor our methods to meet your needs. We offer individual therapy to teens, young adults, adults, and seniors, creating a safe space for healing at every life stage.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina and Washington, I provide culturally sensitive care in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, ensuring accessible support for a diverse community.
