My clients describe me as someone who is non-judgmental, open, calm, nurturing, and a safe place to land.

As a client, we will first seek to build rapport, so that a feeling of safety can be created. Clients are then free to speak their truth, identify patterns, and identify tools where the client is able to cope and ultimately thrive.

Clients will have the opportunity to speak openly and freely. Additionally, the client will be able to traverse challenging memories and current events. Lastly, clients will be encouraged to identity themes and life patterns impeding every day life.

I specialize in working with adolescents and your adults, ages 11-25, dealing with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

I became a therapist in part because of my experience of being born to a teen mother on the south side of Chicago.

Lanton Counseling is in Kannapolis, NC. Our office is a comfortable distance from Charlotte, Concord, Salisbury/China Grove areas.

I've worked with individuals and families for over 30 years. I have had the opportunity to serve urban and rural communities. I've been an elementary teacher, school social worker, and now therapist/ professional nurturer!
