Stress Therapists in Charlotte, NC
At Thriveworks, we specialize in helping with issues like anxiety, depression, grief/loss, stress, life transitions, and more.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of North Carolina. I have had the pleasure of working with children, adolescents, women, and families in residential and community-based settings on issues such as anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, conduct, substance use, and relationship problems before transitioning to outpatient therapy. I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Iowa, then moved to North Carolina to be closer to the mountains and the beach, where I earned my Master of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

They have been carrying stress for years but keep pushing.
You have been thinking about therapy for a while, but life has been so busy you haven’t figured out how to fit it in. I get it, and I’m glad you made it here now.
I offer a space where you can slow down, take a breath, and release what you’ve been carrying. If you grew up around dysfunction, inconsistency, unpredictability or emotional chaos, those experiences don’t just stay in the past. They can show up as overthinking, over-functioning, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, imbalanced and/or unhealthy relationships or repeating patterns you’re ready to break. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Thank you so much for your interest. I currently have some online openings available to North and South Carolina residents. I have a preference for utilizing many of the counseling techniques within cognitive behavioral therapy because I believe that although individuals will undoubtedly experience hardship and difficulty within their lives, I feel that problems with emotions and behaviors are many times a result of how one thinks and feels about a situation. Counseling is not a “one-size-fits-all” process, and I will always maintain awareness of the uniqueness of a client’s situation and adapt my method to suit his or her needs.

Life does not come with a set of instructions, or three wishes for that matter. We all have likely questioned the circumstances we have been given. But the reality is in order to repair ourselves, we must learn from the things we can't control. I help highly anxious adults learn to navigate in life who've dealt with past traumatic experiences or who've learned to function with anxious attachments.

Maybe the anxiety, emotional shutdown, or relationship stress has felt “normal” for so long that you didn’t realize how unsustainable it was.
As an LCSW, I focus on helping adults make sense of their emotional world and the patterns that keep them stagnant. I support clients in understanding how past experiences and trauma continue to shape their reactivity to life stressors and how to move toward more intentional ways of living. My style is warm, honest, and collaborative.

I help grievers learn to care for themselves, manage stress, and make sense of how to survive and find new meaning.
You want inner peace. Defiant, rebellious peace. Not doves. Not hippies. Not spiritual bypassing. You want a real, gnarly peace that is tough like the roots of an ancient tree. A broken-hearted sort of peace that can hold your grief while also holding you safe.
You want a body that can rest deeply. A mind that can slow down. A heart that can be both broken open and healing. You want hope that 5, 10, 15 or even 20 years from now, you will look back with pride and say "I survived. I learned to grieve and I learned to fight for my life."
You want to become the future version of yourself who can honestly carry this loss forward.

My joy is supporting others in coming back to themselves and ultimately to their connection with others and with the divine. Whether exploring the patterns developed during our conception, birth or early life, or connecting with the body’s wisdom, there is a way we can be with what is happening that allows us to integrate what is most essential. Slowing down, finding your rhythm, tuning in to what you are needing and wanting for yourself, being curious…some sessions are deeply restorative, some profound or surprising, some simply provide the necessary structure for living fully in this 3-D world.

I specialize in helping entrepreneurs and leaders manage stress, relationships, and the lasting impact of trauma.
Leadership is hard. Many leaders struggle with loneliness, perfectionism, and the pressure to be everything for everyone while carrying their own histories of trauma or adversity. Their resilience and drive push them to overcome, but often at the cost of their own well-being. As a trauma specialist for a decade and an entrepreneur myself, I understand how strength and survival can become intertwined. I help leaders and high achievers heal old wounds, find balance, and create lives that feel both purposeful and peaceful.
