I am here to support and work with you to reach your goals for therapy. Goals for sessions could include developing coping skills for stress and difficult emotions, feeling less depressed, or improving communication/relationships.

I am a pre-licensed mental health counselor (LCMHC-A) at Pathways to Life, Inc. in Greensboro, North Carolina, where I serve as part of a dedicated multidisciplinary team under the supervision of Britney Reynolds, MA LCMHC-QS, Corporate Clinical Director, and Vivian Clark, LCSW, Regional Director. Pathways to Life, Inc. is a community mental health agency committed to connecting individuals with a range of services designed to address their unique needs. As a Christian counselor, I integrate faith-based principles and values into my clinical practice, offering clients the option to explore spiritual concerns and incorporate their beliefs into the therapeutic process. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, respecting each person’s worldview and goals. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), which equips me to support children, adolescents, and adults experiencing trauma-related symptoms and PTSD. My areas of focus also include anxiety, behavioral issues, body image, career concerns, college adjustment, depression, emotional regulation, family conflict, identity development, impulse control, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), relationship issues, self-esteem, sexuality, sexual orientation, social anxiety, social isolation, academic stress, and more. I believe in the power of healing through humor and strive to create a welcoming, genuine environment where clients feel safe to show up authentically. It is important to me that each session is a space where you can be yourself, express vulnerability, and build trust. I am committed to providing evidence-based care that fosters personal growth, emotional healing, and holistic well-being, whether clients seek support for mental health, spiritual concerns, or trauma recovery.

Navigating the transition to college and early adulthood can be exciting, but it can also be incredibly stressful and overwhelming. Are you struggling to manage the pressures of academics, relationships, or being away from home? Do you find yourself constantly worrying, feeling down, or having difficulty sleeping? Are you experiencing conflict with parents, peers, or even professors? Are you questioning whether college is the right path for you, or if you're pursuing it due to external pressure? Everyone experiences some level of stress during this time, but if these feelings are persistent and impacting your daily life, or causing significant relationship strain, it might be helpful to talk to someone. Counseling provides a safe space to explore these challenges, develop coping strategies, and clarify your own goals and values. Our virtual sessions offer the flexibility to meet before, between, or after classes, making it easier than ever to prioritize your mental well-being as you navigate this new chapter.

"You deserve the love you so freely give to others.” – Alexandra Elle My practice is centered around you as a “whole person,” not just as a collection of diagnoses. As a therapist I seek to offer a full range of therapeutic services using theory and evidence-based practice, while also simply sitting in your challenging spaces with you, providing a comforting, nurturing, judgement-free environment, and pushing you to break through and progress in your mental health journey. I believe that taking care of yourself is the single most important endeavor you can undertake in your life, and I hope to be able to assist you in any way I can as you begin looking inward. Much like life, treatment is everchanging. Each session we will work together to develop a treatment regimen that best suits your needs both in the moment and as you move forward. We will complete an initial assessment to help me better understand your basic needs. I’ll gather information from you about your background, history, family dynamics, lifestyle, culture, socioeconomic status, and current symptoms. Then, we will have a few rapport-building sessions to get to know one another as I continue assessing your needs. As we progress, we will begin developing goals for your treatment plan centered around decreasing your symptomology and bringing balance back to your life. I will also often present other resources in our community that I believe can eliminate some of the burdens you face. Each session I will use the tools, skills, and knowledge I possess to support you, push you, and guide you through what you’re facing. I believe as a therapist it is my job to find a balance between comforting you and validating your feelings, while also challenging you and often telling you things you may not be thrilled to hear. It is my goal to make sure you feel safe and secure in treatment in addition to presenting you with alternate ways of thinking, gently coaching you through correcting any harmful behaviors, and changing your perspectives on how you perceive your reality. My process is to get to know you on an individual level, gain your trust, provide a safe and validating space for you to release your emotions, and then walk alongside you as you learn to advance in your mental health.

If you’re trying to balance everything- stress, relationships, health, school, life transitions, we’re a good match. You are most likely struggling with with body image, and/or self esteem, your connection with food, and you want to develop your communication skills, relationships and overall outlook on life.

I believe in the quiet brilliance that lives within everyone. A light that may flicker beneath exhaustion, doubt, or the weight of being everything to everyone, but never entirely goes out. You are the steady one, the go-to, the fixer of things. Yet in still moments, the whisper comes: 
"What if they find out I’m barely holding on?" Here, you are invited to lay it all down. 
To exhale. 
To listen inward. My mission is to help you return to your own knowing: the fierce, intuitive, radiant self that may have been buried beneath roles, expectations, and the noise of the world. Through thoughtful, compassionate therapy, I will help guide you, not toward becoming someone else, but toward remembering who you’ve always been.

Anxiety, depression, relationship stress. We all face challenges, and we do the best we can with what we know, and what we have, in the moment.

I am passionate about helping people heal and develop their connection to themselves and others in a holistic way. I believe that healing occurs when we address the whole person including emotional, mental, physical, social, and spiritual health. I value our ability to connect with our stories and integrate all aspects of ourselves (body, mind, and soul) to help us grow. I apply a collaborative approach to counseling and focus on creating a therapeutic relationship centered on trust and respect. My desire is that all of my clients feel safe and known. Clients of mine have learned to better regulate their emotions, develop a better sense of self, decrease and manage addictive behaviors, overcome disordered eating and heal from past trauma. My scope of practice includes, but is not limited to, the following areas: depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-esteem, addictions, relational problems, and adjustment disorders.

Hi, I’m Audriana, a therapist who helps students navigate anxiety, overwhelm, identity questions, and the pressure of balancing school, relationships, and life. My style is warm, grounded, and non‑judgmental. I create a space where you can be honest, explore what’s really going on beneath the surface, and learn practical tools to feel more steady and confident in your day‑to‑day life.

Something feels off, and you can't quite name it. You're doing everything you were supposed to do, but the life you're living doesn't feel fully like yours. You look around and it seems like everyone else found their footing, their person, their purpose. And quietly, you've started to wonder: Why not me? What am I missing? The gap between where you are and where you thought you'd be by now can feel like failure, even when, logically, you know it isn't. You're measuring yourself against a timeline you didn't write, comparing your insides to everyone else's outsides, and coming up short every time. The loneliness isn't just about being single or not having the career you wanted. It's the disconnection from yourself, from knowing who you are and what you actually want, separate from what you were always told to want. You don't need to have it all figured out. But you do deserve to feel at home in your own life, curious about where you're going rather than ashamed of where you are. You deserve to trust yourself again. I work with women who are navigating that in-between, exploring who they are, longing for real connection, and untangling the anxiety that comes with feeling behind. Together, we'll loosen the grip of comparison, get clear on what you actually value, and help you build a life that feels genuinely yours, not a performance of what it was supposed to look like. I offer online therapy in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. If this sounds like you, please reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation!
