Sexual Abuse Therapists in Charlotte, NC
I help clients recognize that they do not have to be victims of their circumstances or history. Sometimes we are faced with painful circumstances. Sometimes even everyday life begins to feel overwhelming. The unfortunate reality is that we cannot always control what happens in our lives. We can, however, choose how we respond to the difficult things that occur. I believe that all of us have the ability to grow and to make positive, lasting change in our lives. My role as therapist is to help facilitate this process.

You’re the “fixer” in your relationships—the one everyone turns to, but it’s exhausting. You grew up navigating family dynamics that left you feeling responsible for others' happiness, yet unsure how to prioritize your own needs. You excel at work but struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, or guilt when setting boundaries. You want peace: less overthinking, healthier relationships, and the freedom to live authentically. Whether it's processing trauma, tackling anxiety, or breaking harmful patterns, you’re ready for a change—and I’m here to guide you.

Finding the right therapist is sometimes difficult. Therapy starts with finding someone who matches your personality and developing a relationship with an individual that you can trust. I believe in learning about who you are, the complete picture, and helping you define and achieve the goals that are important to you. No judgment, just a safe place to work through things you would otherwise bottle up. I will challenge you to feel things, learn to choose better paths even when normally you might choose the same old thing that makes you feel stuck.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Whether you've tried therapy before or you're brand new to the process, taking these first steps can be nerve-wracking. Because of this, I believe that the safe, trusting environment and relationship built between therapist and client is at the core of this work. What’s most important to me is that you feel comfortable being yourself in therapy, and my goal is that you always feel heard, supported, and accepted. Therapy is different for everybody, and I want this process to be unique and personal to you and your needs.

There’s something sacred (and a little terrifying) about coming to this place where you realize you’ve gotten a little too good at this everything’s fine, nothing to see here facade. You’re longing for something different. You sense there’s more for you and your story and your relationships, but you don’t quite know how to get there. The good news is, that something more is absolutely available to you. The hard news is, it means going to places in your own heart, story, and body that have probably been avoided for some time and for lots of good reasons and learning how to offer yourself a new kind of compassionate care and kindness.

When thinking of your dream life, it involves happiness, purpose, friendships, success, and everything else you've wished for. No matter how hard you try sometimes we're just let down, and life can start crumbling down around us. We can get pulled and pushed in many ways and may feel as if sometimes we have no control over anything. Activities we once enjoyed seem like a task, maintaining relationships become draining, and the best part of the day becomes the end. Your feelings matter and you deserve to be validated, understood, and respected. We need reminders that our life has value just by being the unique individual you are.
