Therapists in Waxhaw, NC

Each session is as equally an important time for you, as it is for me. The connection between therapist and client is the most important factor in the work. Our work together is not only client focused, but I also use a personal & customized blend of many different schools of thought. There is no "supposed to" in therapy and is a personal journey, as unique as your personality and individual problems. I see therapy as the opportunity for people to really transcend their struggles. I form a real life, genuine connection with my clients and therefore each of our sessions can fit each individual's need.

It happened again. Just when you thought this relationship would be different than the last, bam, you’re right back where you started. It's over. Alone and feeling abandoned, you try to pick yourself up yet again, maybe next time will be different? You wonder why relationships are so hard and come to the conclusion…it must be me! That voice in your head that you have tried to silence tells you, “you don’t have what it takes”. No matter what you have done to quiet that voice, it comes back loud and clear time and again. Your spirit is battered, your heart bruised, and you wonder how to recover from yet another ending.
