Positive Psychology Therapists in Charlotte, NC

I can understand how intimidating therapy can seem. To be vulnerable with someone who does not share a personal relationship with you can seem challenging and for some, scary. If you are someone who feels like they are slightly ready to take that step in healing their past traumas, present challenges, or preparing for their future, I can be there to help you along the way. I currently work with teens, adults, and families where I focus on building a strong rapport with each client that I see. My goal as your therapist is to guide you on your journey of healing and to help bring light and comfort in those hard times.

Life can be challenging at times, but I believe with the right tools and a helpful listener we can make it a little easier. I’m passionate about helping clients build resilience and quiet those negative thoughts that make them doubt their potential. I enjoy motivating my clients to be the best version of themselves through positive psychology and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Once a client can rationalize through their negative thoughts, they can then change their behavior.

We are always reaching to be the best in all we do. This often times causes pressure as we try to meet standards other have set. We often feel that we are failures.

Do you feel lost or abandoned? How is your self esteem? Are you interested in trying something new? Are you ready to overcome fears? Did you know that you are gifted and equipped?

Hi, I view counseling as a forum for acceptance and understanding that serves to facilitate and foster change. To some, counseling may be as simple as using the counselor as a sounding board, or as a way to navigate roadblocks in life. I support each individual based on their needs. I'm an ally to everyone because I love people and we all deserve kindness and respect.
