Therapists in Downtown, Charlotte, NC

I believe therapy is a place to understand and be understood, to feel empowered, emotionally, spiritually and relationally. I have been in the field since 2007 working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with issues ranging from depression and anxiety to addiction and homelessness. I work with all ages, especially focusing on family groups seen individually and together. Every client creates a goal centered plan that includes a variety of interventions from sand and art therapy to trauma focused CBT. Therapy is a safe place to share your journey, learn from the past and move towards the future.

I have a gentle "no-nonsense" approach that clients say is very productive throughout the course of therapy.

Deciding to start counseling is an important step towards living the life you want. I am dedicated to helping people live healthier and happier lives. In sessions I help people make meaning of and transform overwhelming parts of their lives. This includes healing self-destructive behaviors, trauma, relationship struggles, and difficult life transitions. If we embark on this journey I will assist you in gaining an understanding of how difficult thoughts, feelings, relationships, and behaviors may protect you from things you fear, but hinder your happiness.Through this process you can make connections that foster acceptance, strength, flexibility, and healing.

On a long enough timeline, anyone can sort themselves out. Time is precious, however, so make the most of yours by reaching your goals more effectively with a therapist. People consulting with me are seeking deeper satisfaction at work and in their relationships, and through our conversations, they can better find their place in their career, speak up more effectively, and connect more deeply with those they love. I have a focus on men's issues, which can be helpful not only for the men with whom I work, but also for women who want a better understanding of themselves and the men in their lives.

Do you often struggle to stop negative thinking? Or to stop worrying about every possible bad outcome? Do you ever feel like a stranger in your own skin?

Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. If you are looking for things to change and are willing to work with me, things can get better.

I believe we are all recovering from something. As a clinician, I believe that a healthy nonjudgmental relationship is foundational to each of our healing journeys. Having someone who we can be honest with, who is honest with us, allows us to be honest with ourselves and reach our ultimate potential. While the therapeutic relationship is our foundation, I incorporate elements of motivational interviewing, solution focused, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies in order to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.
