Downtown, Charlotte, NC 28277
I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist and have experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults on various issues such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, behavioral addictions, and self-esteem.
Do you feel unfulfilled in your life, like something is missing? Are you hiding certain behaviors from friends and family? Are you struggling with self-esteem, anxiety or depression? Are you using unhelpful coping mechanisms such as substance use, shopping, gaming/internet, or gambling to cope with those struggles? It is difficult to understand the "why" of our thought processes and behaviors on our own. Therapy is a powerful tool that can help you work through understanding your "why" and assist in handling life transitions, achieving goals, or finding relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety, or substance use issues.
