Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Charlotte, NC

My clients desire to appear confident and in control, but deep down they are silently struggling to keep it together. They may be fed up with being everyone's "rock", feeling riddled with frustration and anxiety, or wondering who they are outside of all the "hats" being worn. They may not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. One thing is for sure: they're ready for relief. They come ready to release the things that they've been holding in. They're ready to unhook from the cycle of burnout, numb out, repeat. Most of all, they're ready to step into an authentic relationship with themselves, life & those around them.

We are licensed in Utah, Oregon, Maine, Minnesota, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina and Colorado. We currently offer telehealth and virtual therapeutic services. We work with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, mood disorders, family relations issues, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders. We combine different therapeutic approaches based on client's presenting concerns, goals, and motivation, such as, cognitive-behavioral, brief therapy, mindfulness, client-centered, solution-focused therapy.

None of us go through life without experiencing changes or life transitions. We struggle with depression and fight off our anxiety. We go through our day on autopilot, lacking energy, and feeling hopeless. We isolate ourselves from friends and family, we feel misunderstood, or we temporarily escape reality & lessen our pain with alcohol, drugs, food, etc. Resisting change causes us pain and creates additional stress and anxiety in our lives. Acceptance and embracing change begins the healing. If we approach transitions with curiosity rather than fear, and intention rather than reluctance, we can respond to change and foster growth.

Many people face life challenges that may feel like they have the weight of the world on their shoulders. Sometimes it may feel easier to avoid the problem by trying not to think about it, self-medicating or secluding yourself from friends and family. As much as you may feel like this is the answer, it only prolonges your symptoms. Mental Health Transformation focuses on helping you find ways to decrease your symptoms with modalities that include, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Mindfulness, Family Systems Therapy, Couple Therapy, and Grief Therapy.

As women, we wear multiple hats and seek to fill multiple roles. In addition to external pressures, completing day to day tasks can be overwhelming and anxiety provoking. Additionally, in meeting the needs of others, we can tend to ignore our own needs. As a therapist, my desire is to give each woman a space in which she is seen, heard, and validated. I seek to work with women who have unresolved trauma, perinatal moods, postpartum depression, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues among other women's issues.

My practice focuses on individual therapy with adults and adolescents. With compassionate, nonjudgmental listening, I provide a supportive space where you can safely explore areas for healing and growth. Together, we clarify your current experience and what you would like to see happen as a result of therapy. Relief, insight, courage? You may want to overcome or cope with difficult emotions, restore hope and confidence, repair or build relationships, create healthier patterns, or establish and maintain recovery. Therapy works. Through a therapeutic relationship over time, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, and with compassionate awareness, experience meaningful growth.

Throughout life we encounter a myriad of experiences that shape and influence who we are. We also inherit things that shape us. Sometimes these things may overwhelm or not prepare us to problem solve as effectively as we'd like. When life is challenging or overwhelming, many times we need support to help us manage our circumstances, learn effective ways to cope and to show us how to utilize our own resources and personal strengths to thrive and survive.

I spent the first part of my career in non-profit and private practice settings in a rural area.
