Christian Therapists in Charlotte, NC
Are you questioning a relationship, feeling stuck in a job, or noticing patterns you can’t seem to break? You might be successful in many areas of life, yet still carrying unresolved trauma, self-doubt, or pressure to “figure it all out.” I help young professionals who look like they have it together on the outside, but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure about what they want for the future. Adulthood can bring many transitions, whether it be moving, career changes, navigating dating, or redefining friendships. These changes often feel isolating and destabilizing. Therapy can help!

Partner 1: "I reach for you, but it feels like you’re already gone. I’m left wondering if I matter to you at all." Partner 2: "When you come close, I feel the pressure to be perfect. I can’t get it right, so I pull back to protect us both." These unspoken messages live under the surface in many relationships. One partner is aching for connection, the other is protecting against pain—both are lonely, both are longing, both are stuck. I help couples break free from this anxious–avoidant cycle so they can feel safe, seen, and deeply connected again.

I specialize in children (ages 5 & up), adolescents, and young adults as they explore and navigate through oppositions in life. I work closely with those who are challenged with anxiety, anger, behavioral disorders, depression, grief, loss, parental conflict, traumatic childhood experiences, and PTSD.

I help children communicate and convey their thoughts in various ways by engaging and interacting creatively.
