Teletherapy for 28204

People come to therapy for many different reasons; some want to enrich their relationships or solve a specific problem, others may be stuck in patterns of behavior that they have had difficulty changing. Seeking therapy is a healthy and courageous step in honestly examining your life. It is a collaborative process of identifying and overcoming your unique patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting, which may have limited you. In our work together, you will develop new skills to enhance your overall well-being, improve your relationships, and enable you to make better choices in life.

The modern world is a stressful place with a mountain of expectations and fewer paths available to fulfill them than ever before. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, left out, anxious or depressed. Often they have a sense of being stuck and not knowing how to move forward. Ultimately what my clients want is to be “happy”. What I find on a more practical level is that this often means they want to be more engaged and content with their life and feel like they are making progress.

Are you going through a life change or transition and feel lost? Or maybe you just don't feel like yourself right now? Reaching out for help can be difficult and in my experience, no human being can navigate these seasons of life alone. I am passionate about working with preteens, teenagers, young adults, and adults who are going through significant life changes and/or feeling that they would like to cultivate a more evolved version of themselves.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I help clients heal from emotional and relationship concerns. I believe in the values of happiness, health, and purpose. If you or someone you care about is struggling with relationship conflict, depression, stress / anxiety, or anger; and you are ready for change to happen, I may be the right therapist for you.

Does life feel overwhelming? During this crazy and stressful time do things feel like they are more than you can handle? Do you see your work, relationships and quality of life being impacted? This can happen to any of us!

Life is often full of many challenges and trials. Sometimes you may feel as though you are able to take on these challenges head on. Other times, you may feel like you are just struggling to get by and that it is difficult to keep your head above water. You may feel anxiety and worry that keeps you in a constant state of stress and unable to relax. There may be feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or of being stuck or unmotivated. You may struggle to feel a sense of security in your relationships or you may feel as though you lack confidence in yourself.

In the realm of family planning, the significant issues of infertility & pregnancy loss tend to be overlooked, just like those who are experiencing these profound traumas. Some embark on the path of fertility treatments, including complex methods like IVF, while others proceed on the journey without them. As you navigate these foreign spaces, you encounter misunderstandings & judgments from individuals who can't comprehend your unique experiences. Amidst these circumstances, it can be difficult to maintain a sense of hope for positive outcomes, especially when you are consumed by the pain of losing someone you deeply love.

You come to therapy to face hard truths in your life and learn better ways to handle them. Maybe you find yourself repeating the same patterns, having the same interactions, or feeling a certain way about yourself. I balance truth and tact, giving genuine feedback. I have over 20 years of experience helping adults overcome depression, anxiety, and life stress. Sometimes you're depressed & sometimes your life is depressing-usually it's some of both. I address both, helping you change the way you think, act, & feel, while also looking at your whole life situation, environment, lifestyle, friends & stressors.

Come to terms with the past & change your life for the better. Are you caught in a cycle of negative thoughts, overwhelming emotions, or unhelpful behaviors that seem to hold you back? Do you aspire to cultivate more meaning and joy in your life? It's common to feel reluctant about seeking help, particularly when there's societal pressure to appear as though you've got everything under control. I'm here to support you on your path to healing and to help you create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

If you feel unsure on how to navigate through daily life stress, you're not alone. Sometimes we get caught up in the different roles we fulfill and lose ourselves in the process. Maybe you've coped with mental and emotional instability by suppressing how you feel or have engaged in negative behaviors that make the situation worse. Whatever your going through, it won't define who you are nor should you allow it to hold you hostage. You have the inner strength to push through any circumstance, all you need is support and the right motivation.

I started my career as an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry, working and leading teams for the International Space Station and a satellite mission. Wanting to work more closely with people, I switched to business strategy consulting, traveling to Fortune 100 companies on a weekly basis for two years. While I got the chance to solve complex problems, I realized I wanted to help people solve the problems that mattered to them at a deeper level. This, coupled with my own recovery journey, is what drives me to do exceptional therapy work today.

I am a clinical psychologist providing counseling to couples, families, and adults. My services are offered to the greater Charlotte area and with telehealth in South Carolina. I provide treatment for depression, anxiety, stress, medical problems, attention and focus problems and grief and loss issues. I completed my doctorate at the University of South Carolina. I am passionate about my work with clients and enjoy learning and developing new skills and techniques to support them in managing the complexity of their daily lives.

I believe our mental health is just as important as our physical health, and my goal is to remove the stigmatism that is associated with addressing what is often times referred to is “mental illness.” When in fact, one of the benefits of counseling is to find a neutral resource to directly listen to you and to help you sort through “life", when things become overwhelming and challenging. My therapeutic style is to focus on the solution and not the actual problem. My goal is to provide you with the tools necessary to fill your toolbox.
