Therapists in Charlotte, NC

Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of North Carolina. In 2014, I graduated from Kean University in New Jersey with a Master's Degree in Social Work. I have over 5+ years of counseling experience from working in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment programs, therapeutic foster care and outpatient counseling settings. I specialize in treating children, adolescents and adults, depression, anxiety, anger management and addictions. I use a client-centered approach, integrating cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, motivational interviewing therapy techniques.

Therapy is not only intended to treat mental illness or to help alleviate only the most severe traumas. Therapy can help with nearly every aspect of life, from the seemingly everyday to the most devastating situations. We all have solutions we want to achieve and go through changes we need help to navigate. I welcome anyone who is in need of extra tools to help them along on their life journey. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, life stressors, relational issues, life transitions, women's issues, body image, and grief. I am passionate about working with diverse populations, including BIPOC, women, adolescents, and adults.

Have you been feeling a little down lately? Anxious, frustrated, and/or depressed about a current or past situation? As if you’ve lost sight of the person, you are or want to be. As we grow though life, we can expect challenges and changes. However, our perspective of those situations can dictate our emotional or behavioral responses. Let's begin to move forward, step by step. Let's partner together. First, we will build a trusting therapeutic relationship, then I will cultivate a safe space of understanding, healing, and growth, through evidence-based practices in hopes of you becoming the best version of yourself.

Do you struggle with feeling bad about yourself, and developing and maintaining healthy relationships with others? Do you feel down, depressed, feeling you let yourself or others down? Do you experience feelings of anxiety, stress, or trauma? Are these concerns impacting you at home, work, or other places? Seeking therapy can be scary, however, you have made the right decision. I believe individuals are the "experts on themselves" and possess the ability to make the desired positive change in their lives.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story. Reaching out for support is often the hardest step and I commend you for being here. Together, we will explore the layers of your life that have caused burden, stress, or sadness and work together to release you from their hold. I provide a virtual space of safety, connection, open expression, autonomy, authenticity, and collaboration. With compassion and understanding, I work with each person to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

Now accepting new clients! Taking the first step into therapy can be the hardest. I am here to help individual clients, adolescents ages 11 and up, and adults, navigate this process with ease. Right now more than ever things can seem so out of ones control. My goal is to help you navigate life's ups and downs and transitions that are thrown your way. My passion lies in helping those experiencing issues with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, relationship (peer) issues, and behavioral issues (teens) and general life transitions.

I have a Bachelor's in Economics and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling. I am licensed by the state of North Carolina as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and as a Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS). I am also a Nationally Certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and I belong to the American Counseling Association, The National Board of Certified Counselors, and the National Association for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC).

Have you ever not felt like yourself, but couldn't quite figure out why? What if I told you this feeling is normal as life has a funny way of soliciting a myriad of unwarranted and unrecognizable emotions while navigating the everyday stressors of life. While everyone's experiences are different, there appears to be this shared commonality amongst the human race during which at some point, you experience increase worry, decreased motivation, unexpected changes of mood, fluctuating energy levels, and changes with your sleep and appetite. If this sounds like you right now, I encourage you to keep reading...
