Sexual Abuse Therapists in Charlotte, NC
I specialize in the treatment of women’s issues, child sexual abuse, and chronic stress management, as well as anxiety and depression.
Hey there, I'm Jess. I support and empower individuals as they grow through healing. When was the last time that you truly felt like yourself? Have you been feeling trapped, stuck, or stagnant? If so, it may be time to think about talking to a counselor. Life is complex, complicated, and sometimes overwhelming. Oftentimes we get into the unhelpful habit of putting our needs on the back-burner so that we can focus on the fast-paced present. Counseling is an opportunity to expand your mind, self-reflect, practice gratitude, heal, slow down, rest, and recharge. It’s an opportunity to end harmful cycles, habits, beliefs, and behaviors.

I have navigated with my clients through a range of issues including post-traumatic-stress-disorder, sexual assault and abuse, anxiety, gender identity, relationship concerns, mood disorders, and religious faith crises.
As a National Certified Counselor, I will explore your concerns and assist you in uncovering deeper issues that might be hindering or influencing your relationships and your worldview. Given the unique challenges that each person encounters, which demand subtle and distinct methods of intervention, I trained in both contemporary research-based therapies, as well as traditional techniques (Psychodynamics), so I can offer a variety of tools. “Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.” -- Dr. Viktor Frankl (founder of Logotherapy).

Real change is hard, long-term work not meant to be done alone. Dysfunctions around sexuality, food, money and work (the so-called "process" addictions) are primarily a struggle with intimacy. One needs to understand THE FUNCTION OF one's own self - destructive behaviors: that self hatred is not low self esteem; that contempt for others is not good self concept; that my wife is not the problem; and that sex is not my greatest need. I am several steps ahead of you on a journey I encourage you to take. Real change is hard, don't do it alone. :)

You feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You’re overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or self-doubt and struggle with maintaining meaningful relationships or setting boundaries. Maybe you’re navigating life transitions, questioning your purpose, or grappling with unresolved trauma. For some, it’s about finding your voice in relationships or reconnecting with your children. You want to break free from these cycles, develop healthier coping strategies, and build stronger, more authentic connections. Deep down, you know you deserve more: more peace, more joy, and more self-love

Are you tired of working hard in therapy for months or years without seeing results? If only you could move past your past, process childhood hurts or that recent abusive relationship, or recover from the memories that haunt you at night. You may have become perfectionistic, people pleasing, or overly fearful, afraid of everything. Perhaps your mood has suffered, and your self-esteem is non-existent. Maybe it feels that no one understands and now that you think about it, there's so much confusion about your thoughts and feelings, you're lacking life direction. There's a lot and you're not sure where to start!

I feel best suited to work with adult men and women who struggle with depression, anxiety, and/or a sense of powerlessness which limits their participation in life whether it be work, love or play. I am particularly interested in working with adults who are aware of sexual misuse in their childhood or adolescence which may be continuing to have influence on their current situation. I want to provide a space where the unique stories of each client may be named, felt and explored in light of their current relationships for the purpose of finding hope for the future.
