Anxiety Therapists in Charlotte, NC

I primarily work with preteens, teenagers, and women and have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, adjusting to changes in life, and identity issues. Prior to entering into the field of counseling, I received a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise. I also worked for several years on staff with a Christian college ministry at Virginia Tech. These experiences have contributed to my holistic approach to counseling, considering the interconnectedness of one's psychological, emotional, spiritual, and physical health on overall well-being and quality of life.

Specializing in depression, anxiety, and life transitions, I understand the profound impact these challenges can have on one's well-being and quality of life. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Brief Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I offer a holistic approach to treatment.

For many of life’s issues, it is helpful to talk with someone within a nonjudgmental, safe environment. To be listened to and heard in a way that facilitates an understanding of what the underlying origin of the problem is in order to bring about healing. Kimberly uses the psychodynamic approach to counseling as a means to assist clients with understanding themselves more deeply. Serving adults, couples and adolescents, she collaborates with the client to address patterns and behaviors that disrupt wellbeing.

I am here to help clients learn effective coping skills for their issues and set goals to overcome obstacles in their life. My life experiences as an African American, and combat veteran will help to address any barriers that are interrupting your daily life.
