My Approach

I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of North Carolina at Charlotte. My anticipated graduation date is December 2027. I am being supervised by Danielle Hughes, as well as by program supervisors at UNCC.

I believe that life transitions can be difficult, but they can also create opportunities for growth, self-discovery, and developing a new sense of direction. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and valued.

As a counseling student, I take a client-centered approach by meeting clients where they are and recognizing that each person’s experiences and goals are unique. I incorporate cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients explore the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we can work toward developing greater self-understanding, confidence, and healthier ways of navigating life’s challenges.

Fees + Insurance

Schedule with Nyla

  • Counseling Rates
    $0

  • No. I do not accept insurance.

  • We understand that life happens and schedules sometimes change. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, you may do so through your Client Portal or by contacting your therapist or our administrative team by phone, email, or secure message.

    Appointments canceled or rescheduled at least 24 hours in advance will not incur a cancellation fee.

    Example: If your appointment is scheduled for Wednesday at 4:00 PM, you'll need to cancel or reschedule before Tuesday at 4:00 PM to avoid a late cancellation fee.

    Why We Have This Policy

    Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you. When appointments are canceled with less than 24 hours' notice, it is often not possible to offer that time to another client who may be waiting for care.

    Like many healthcare practices, cancellation fees help us protect time that has been specifically reserved, support the sustainability of our practice, and ensure our therapists can continue providing high-quality care to every client.

    This policy is never intended to be punitive. We recognize that unexpected situations arise, and if extenuating circumstances occur, we encourage you to speak with your therapist.

    Thank you for respecting our time and the time of others who are seeking care. We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of your journey.
