Hey There

I am Wanda, a therapist, coach, and mindfulness practitioner dedicated to helping you create positive changes in your life by addressing deep-seated issues, fostering self-awareness, and promoting personal growth. The method to my madness is considering the whole person and focusing on their strengths and resources to navigate life's challenges. I incorporate creative expression like poetry, art, music, meditation, and movement to make therapy engaging and dynamic. This fosters self-expression, enhances self-awareness, and leads to profound personal insights. By blending certifications, experiences, and a passion for holistic well-being, I create a supportive environment for individuals to flourish on their journey of self-discovery and transformation, believing in their immense potential for a fulfilling and purposeful life.

My Background

With a robust educational background, multiple degrees, and various licenses, I am equipped to address mental health conditions, particularly focusing on trauma, anxiety, and depression-related issues. Having undergone a rigorous education program (RAM nation!), I hold licenses in North Carolina that allow me to practice as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), a Board-Certified Counselor (BCC) specializing in life issues, and a licensed Special Education teacher. My diverse professional experience includes working in a community mental health agency, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, higher education in accessibility resources, serving as a mental health coordinator in the public school system, and successfully owning and operating a private practice. This collective background positions me to provide comprehensive and effective support in various mental health settings.

Embracing diversity and cultural competence by fostering an inclusive space where clients from all backgrounds feel seen, heard, and valued throughout their journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Overall, an atmosphere that promotes empowerment, positive change, and mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
