Emotionally Focused Therapists in Charlotte, NC
I draw from my advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT) and integrate body-aware, embodiment-focused practices that support nervous system regulation, emotional clarity, and a deeper connection to your internal experience.
Most of us carry emotional patterns shaped by relationships, systems, and histories we didn’t choose - and therapy helps us begin to understand them.
I work with adults and teens navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, religious or spiritual trauma, grief, and the ongoing impact of complex family dynamics. Whether you're processing a breakup, navigating a life transition, or untangling long-held patterns of disconnection, therapy can support you in building emotional resilience, clarity, and a more grounded sense of self.

I use Process Healing, EMDR, EFT, and ACT to help you process what's weighing you down and start feeling real relief.
You’re tired of trying to keep it together.
You’ve done your best to stay strong, to keep functioning, to be “fine”—but inside, you're exhausted. Maybe your thoughts won’t slow down, your emotions feel too big (or totally shut down), or your relationships feel more distant than ever. Whatever it is, you’re not broken—your system is just overwhelmed.

I have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and families to increased connection in relationships.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I provide a safe space from the initial contact so you feel comfortable to work on your goals. I want to make this process as comfortable as possible so clients can reach their goals quickly. My approach is collaborative with all clients and all presenting concerns. I believe that each client has their own unique story and are capable of healing. I work with clients ages 17 years old and up, focusing on individual and relationship issues.

I also work systemically and relationally, incorporating models such as internal family systems, and emotionally focused therapy.
When words aren't enough, lets try another approach. Art therapists are trained in the same techniques as talk therapists, but with the added benefit of working with your own creativity. Making art and engaging in play (for kids and adults) can get us access to otherwise hard to reach thoughts and feelings.
Using a blend of art therapy, systemic theory and years of experience, my passion is to effectively work with my clients to create a treatment plan and work until we meet our goals together. I am particularly passionate about helping parents, families and children create nurturing relationships and overcome hardships.

As a therapist, I strive to provide a supportive environment for individuals to gain greater self-awareness and self-regulation. In our work together, we will hold space for difficult emotions, increase self-compassion, identify patterns that have helped you in the past and may not be serving you now, and develop new skills so that you are able to gently move toward living a more fulfilling life aligned with your values.

When working with couples, I used a combination of Gottman and EFT techniques, which are the most highly regarded, evidence-based approaches to couples therapy.
Have you tried talk therapy but didn’t see the changes you were hoping for? Do you have good insight into your patterns but don’t know how to actually change them? Do you want to improve your mind-body connection? If so, it might be time to try a somatic approach. Somatic psychotherapy helps us find, understand and resolve the root causes of our issues in ways that are often inaccessible through traditional talk therapy. We’ll work together to expand your ability to be with and effectively process bodily sensations, to digest unresolved emotions, and to renew your optimal connection to yourself and others.
