Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-reflective adults who function well on the outside but feel unsettled, disconnected, or stuck on the inside. They may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or repeating patterns, often during periods of transition or loss. Many carry the effects of relational trauma that continue to influence how they feel and relate today. Some come to therapy seeking relief from anxiety or emotional overwhelm, while others are interested in deeper self-understanding. Often, our work includes supporting emotional balance in the present and creating change that feels meaningful and lasting.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. As someone raised by POW survivors and refugees, I understand how trauma can shape relationships, identity, and the way we move through the world. Many of my clients find themselves asking, How do we rebuild after betrayal? How do we communicate when it feels like we are speaking different languages? How do we reconnect when the distance between us feels too big? If you are here, you have already taken the first step toward clarity, healing, and deeper connection.

I am an experiential therapist who supports folks struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-criticism, burnout, and emptiness from years of minimizing their own needs as they lovingly care for others. Life doesn’t have to feel like you are constantly battling to change who you are- left feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, isolated and alone. Instead, I partner with my clients to embrace who they are and what they need with compassion and witness their already complete wholeness.

I am an outpatient therapist in Charlotte, NC specializing in adoption and the treatment of developmental trauma. I am keenly versed in the psychological issues and unique social/emotional challenges these children present. Adoptive families are often frustrated and sometimes frightened by their children's behaviors. Most of the children I treat spent time in an orphanage or in the foster care system. A few were adopted at birth.They learned early in life not to rely on adults as a result of early deprivation. Parenting is a challenge! Psychoeducation and support are the essential tools to create healthy families.

Do you feel like trauma has hijacked your life? Are you experiencing depressive episodes/sadness, anxieties, negative thought patterns and relationship dynamics that tend towards being reactive or feel ineffective? People that work with me learn how to understand the impact and effects of trauma and grow their resiliency muscle. It's time to stop hiding wounds you can’t name and skipping out on many possibilities in your life because of internal fears, waning drive and a sense of inner defeat. I can help.

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 is complicated. Often the difficulties and stress we face create conflict and struggles that need to be shared with others. Through counseling, I believe that clients can find relief from the stress and pain of broken relationships, addiction, past traumas and unidentified emotional and spiritual wounds. I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety or depression. I also work with people experiencing grief or who have been in abusive relationships. I work collaboratively with clients to help them find peace and rest in the midst of daily life.
