Therapists in Charlotte, NC

I currently serve clients from ages 10-100, with my primary focus being adolescents and adults. I am a mental health counselor as well as a licensed clinical addiction specialist, meaning I love working with both mental health disorders and addictions. When working with mental health, I serve those struggling with anxiety/depression, trauma/sexual abuse, bipolar I or II disorder, dissociative-identity disorder, grief, self-esteem concerns, identity matters, religious or spiritual factors, stress management, and those on the autism spectrum. My goals for my clients are to be able to increase their sense of self-worth and autonomy.

You may be struggling within your relationships, with unhelpful thoughts, or feelings that seem overwhelming. I support adolescents, teens, and adults that may be experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship conflicts, recovery from a narcissistic relationship (whether from a significant other, friendship, or family member), recovery from trauma, codependency, issues with boundaries, and more. If you find yourself lost and confused, feeling distressed or struggling to regulate emotionally, consider reaching out to me.

You have a story to tell. Whether it's the biggest secret you have, or if you've told it all before, something about your story is preventing you from living the life you want. With you as the expert in your life, I hope to walk along side you and be a witness to your story, providing guidance tailored to your needs along the way. Together we will collaborate until you feel able to tell your story the way you want to, or perhaps re-write it all together.

I believe we are all recovering from something. As a clinician, I believe that a healthy nonjudgmental relationship is foundational to each of our healing journeys. Having someone who we can be honest with, who is honest with us, allows us to be honest with ourselves and reach our ultimate potential. While the therapeutic relationship is our foundation, I incorporate elements of motivational interviewing, solution focused, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies in order to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.

Is being perceived exhausting? Do you feel like emotions control you instead of you controlling them? Feel like life feels heavier than it's supposed to? I'm here to help. My work is focused on being neuroaffirmative, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, trauma-informed, and culturally competent for all. Life can be unpredictable, things don't go as planned, or it feels like our brain is fighting against us, but I'm glad you're here. I'm here to support you, it's okay to feel like you need to be heard, have someone to talk things through with, celebrate the little wins in life, and hold you accountable to the goals you want to succeed in.

Therapy is a healing and transformative process, and it takes courage to seek help with the issues often brought to counseling. I believe healing involves looking at the whole person, and it is important to me to provide a safe environment for my clients where they can explore their challenges without judgment, and share with honesty and openness. I work with children, adolescents, teens & adults who want to become their best selves! Many are seeking greater self-awareness & guidance on their path, & many struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, body image, relationships, family stress & life transitions.

Are you a parent struggling to understand, talk to, or help your teen with mental illness? Are you a teen or young adult who feels lost, lonely, unmotivated, or afraid? I would love to help you find confidence, direction, peace, and the ability to LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST. With 13 years of experience, I have found a strong passion for working with adolescents and young adults. I enjoy helping my clients gain a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they are connected. I especially enjoy helping teens and parents strengthen their relationship and ability to communicate.

Adolescence can be a rocky time for many people, but I believe therapy can be of great help. I work with teenagers and young adults, struggling primarily with mood, identity, and impulse control difficulties. My goals are to help young people build their strengths and relationships in order to find happiness and success as emerging adults. Some of the things I treat are: depression, self-harm, anxiety, family conflict, gender dysphoria, transition to young adulthood stress, and disordered eating habits. Generally I practice cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectal-behavior therapy (DBT) within a caring, humanistic approach.

I can understand how intimidating therapy can seem. To be vulnerable with someone who does not share a personal relationship with you can seem challenging and for some, scary. If you are someone who feels like they are slightly ready to take that step in healing their past traumas, present challenges, or preparing for their future, I can be there to help you along the way. I currently work with teens, adults, and families where I focus on building a strong rapport with each client that I see. My goal as your therapist is to guide you on your journey of healing and to help bring light and comfort in those hard times.

Trauma doesn’t often show it's effects immediately or plainly. It is often hidden in patterns of sleepless nights, negative thinking, anxious worry, and feelings of despair and emptiness. It casts a long shadow that begins to de-color every aspect of life. Activities that were previously enjoyed are scheduled less often. You've noticed not only effects but that it has changed who you are. You’ve noticed that the way you feel about the world & others is very different. The thoughts you have about yourself are no better. And every part of life is categorized by whether it happened “before”. “Before the accident, before the bullying".

I have worked with individuals with various concerns, including addiction, grief, ADHD, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, trauma, personality disorders, relationship issues and disordered eating. I am especially interested in working with issues related to trauma and addiction. I am trained in various trauma modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. I completed a 60 hour somatic attachment certificate course. I take an eclectic approach to counseling and tailor the sessions to the client's needs. I take a client-centered, strengths-based and trauma-informed approach to counseling.

I work with female and male teens, young adults, and adults who are struggling with meeting their goals, maintaining healthy relationships, identity issues, and navigating the transitions and stressors life throws. I also enjoy working with couples who have hit road blocks and need guidance and a third party perspective. My approach is interpersonal and I offer a space for clients to gain feedback and accountability through the development of a strong therapeutic alliance. I lead an adult Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) group and incorporate skills training into my practice.

Are racing thoughts and worrying keeping you up at night? Do you struggle with low self-esteem? Do you feel overwhelmed with emotional disturbance and have a hard time coping in a healthy way? Is your past trauma holding you back? It may be hard for you to relax. You may find it challenging to trust yourself or others. Relationships seem difficult to navigate.

Therapy can be a helpful way to learn healthy and effective coping skills, process emotions, get support, and work through trauma.
