There comes a time when we need some support from a professional to cope with many of life’s challenges. It takes strength and courage to ask for help. Just by being here, you are already starting your path toward recovery. I’m a licensed Psychologist in the greater Charlotte area, and I have over 10 years of therapy experience. My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I am trained as a generalist in clinical psychology and I have treated individuals with a broad spectrum of mental health issues. My specialty areas are trauma, low self-worth, anxiety, depression, binge eating disorder, and body image issues.

None of us go through life without experiencing changes or life transitions. We struggle with depression and fight off our anxiety. We go through our day on autopilot, lacking energy, and feeling hopeless. We isolate ourselves from friends and family, we feel misunderstood, or we temporarily escape reality & lessen our pain with alcohol, drugs, food, etc. Resisting change causes us pain and creates additional stress and anxiety in our lives. Acceptance and embracing change begins the healing. If we approach transitions with curiosity rather than fear, and intention rather than reluctance, we can respond to change and foster growth.

Looking for something different? I uniquely combine evidence-based therapy with meditation, breathwork, yoga, and other techniques, like art therapy. I’ve been a licensed therapist since 2007. I create a space where you can be heard and nurtured but also pushed to grow. We'll work together to set realistic therapeutic goals so you can thrive. I love to support teens, college students, & adults, as well as LGBTQIA+, POC, single parents, and other marginalized populations. I offer group for younger kids. Together, we’ll reduce stress, anxiety, and low mood by learning coping skills to increase overall wellness and personal awareness.

Hi, I’m Kaye. I specialize in helping people and their partners, as they navigate fertility struggles, miscarriage, abortion, pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the postpartum experience. I work frequently with parents of young children who are navigating loss of identity, stress about their kids’ wellbeing, lack of connection to their partners, and feeling like they are failing. These seasons of life are full of “both/and” experiences. Elation, anxiety, contentment, trauma… my goal is to give you space to feel it all and learn how to cope with it all.

My focus is to assist children, adolescents, families, and adults to build positive self image through enhancing self esteem, improving social skills, and reducing family and peer conflicts. I work closely with parents to strengthen their limit setting, clear expectations, and conflict resolution abilities through improved communication skills. Setting limits and boundaries in all relationships and dynamics is a tool that I often use in my therapeutic process. Giving children, parents, couples and individuals tools to maneuver through the daily issues are tools and techniques that I focus on in our sessions.

Whether you are struggling with relationship issues, a difficult life transition (parenthood, college, career, getting older), or are trying to pick yourself up after hardship or loss – you have decided that it's time to do something different to get something different. Having an unbiased neutral third party can help you get clear on YOUR needs and wants. You want to live true to your values. You want stronger relationships because you know that leads to a better life. You want a life you can feel proud of.

I love a good puzzle, and I specialize in clients with complex presentations that need a unique blend of treatment techniques. I am an ideal fit for those who feel like they are stuck and have yet to find the help they are looking for. I take a transdiagnostic approach, meaning that I focus more on the pattern of symptoms than on one specific diagnosis. I see a wide range of presenting problems (including personality, mood, and anxiety disorders) and work to understand how all of the pieces of the puzzle fit together and how to best treat them. I help my clients build a life worth living by investing in all the parts of them.

Prior to private practice, I worked in a variety of community-based jobs including in-home family therapy, crisis response, domestic violence, and adolescents interfacing with the criminal justice system.
