Child Therapists in Monroe, NC

Life can often be difficult causing individuals to feel lonely and overwhelmed. Many of my clients begin therapy because they are struggling with an emotional void and they are wondering how to live their best life. My therapeutic style is warm, non-judgmental, strength based and solution focused. The strong therapeutic relationship I work to cultivate is often the catalyst for my clients to become more self aware, insightful and in control of their life.

I firmly believe in the value of the therapeutic relationship, in the value of promoting a facilitative therapeutic climate, and in upholding scientifically sound and ethical professional standards. My philosophy is that I will meet you where you are. After all, this is your journey. I hope that I can be alongside you, empowering you to experience yourself more fully, as a connected and autonomous being.
