Therapists in Matthews, NC

"Strength doesn't come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't do." My therapeutic style is tailored to you as the individual and what you need to help you overcome, improve, change, process, relieve, heal or balance. I will meet you in whatever phase you are in and we will begin from there.

It takes immense strength to share your story and it is my goal to honor this vulnerability by fostering a therapeutic space of warmth and collaboration. Experiencing life transitions, relational conflicts, anxiety, or impaired self-esteem are not challenges that need to be faced in isolation.

Do you ever find yourself saying "It is not supposed to be this way"? At times we have all felt lost in life, or found ourselves in a place we do not wish to be. Whether it be at the hands of trauma, loss of self-esteem, familial discord, or failed relationships, sometimes we all need some guidance getting back to our best version of ourselves.

Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma are all issues that keep a person from living the life that they truly want to live; or keep a couple from connecting on a level that maybe they use to; or keep a family from relating and understanding each other. Whatever issues arise, I pride myself in helping people navigate through these issues which can help them create and step into the life they desire. ​

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Addictions Specialist, I am grateful for the chance to help individuals overcome challenges and achieve their goals. With my experience and specialized training in both mental health and addiction counseling, I am uniquely qualified to assist clients who are struggling with a wide range of issues. My clients are motivated to put in the effort required to see increased well-being. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, relationship difficulties, or self-esteem problems, I can provide you with the support, guidance, and tools you need to make positive changes in your life.

I have a passion for helping women navigate the complexities of low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and dependency traits. I firmly believe that within each of us lies an innate understanding of who we are, but life's challenges—be it societal pressures, trauma, or other influences—often obscure this truth. Together, we will embark on a journey to dismantle the limiting beliefs that hinder your progress, rediscover your authentic voice, establish healthy boundaries, and manifest the life you envision.

My passion is working with clients age 13-18 as well as young & early adults. I love to work to empower clients, build insight, heal relationships & provide practical tools for clients to use as they develop into young adulthood. I use family therapy for family system work. My other client focus is on victims of sexual exploitation including victims of Human Trafficking & sexual abuse. I incorporate the dynamics of race & ethnicity into my practice and like to work with people from these marginalized populations & addressing how these factors impact treatment and resilience. My ideal client is motivated and committed to treatment.

Ideally, you would like to live a life that is fulfilling and authentic. Maybe there have been roadblocks that have slowed you down or perhaps brought you to a dead stop. I am committed to seeing people move from emotional limitations into freedom, able to maximize potential and walk in their full destiny. You are not a victim! Be brave and address anger, self-esteem, grief, emptiness. It is important to deal with painful issues of the past. We will work creatively to address the distinct areas of your life that may be hurting.

I believe in helping people move from a place of being "stuck" to living life beyond limiting beliefs. I have the passion to serve as a motivating catalyst to help people reach their full potential. This work takes time, effort, and grace - I am willing to help walk through this journey to becoming your best self. Here, you will gain strength, and be empowered to keep moving ahead. You will learn how to maintain strong boundaries, manage anxiety, reduce stress, practice mindfulness, and become grounded.

There are times in life when our struggles seem unbearable and overwhelming to deal with on our own. Therapy can be a wonderful resource to help unpack those heavy emotions and navigate the difficult times. As a trained therapist, I am here to guide and support you through those difficult times. My goal is to help you gain insight and a new perspective to your current circumstances, as well as help create effective coping skills. I am committed to providing a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to become the best version of themselves.

My idea as a psychotherapist is to provide safe, comfortable & judgment-free environment for clients to work through issues. My role as a psychotherapist is to respect the goals that my clients come in with, and support the process of working toward these goals. I believe Psychotherapy can enhance one's self-awareness and the ability to recognize in one's own self-defeating and self-sabotaging patterns, and to change these patterns.

I tend to work well with someone who yearns for understanding. Someone who may crave social interaction, but is not quite sure how to go about it. Someone who is developing their identity and consolidating their sense of self. Someone who wants more out of life but is not quite sure how to get it. Someone who feels lost and plagued with self-doubt. Someone who is not sure why they engage in the same self-defeating behaviors over and over and over. I am open to working with a wide diversity of clients who represent various sexualities, ethnicities, racial identities, genders, and ages.

I am a licensed psychologist in North Carolina and provide both psychotherapy and assessment services. I specialize in psychological assessments including diagnostic testing for emotional problems, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Learning Disability (LD), and gifted assessments. Psychological assessments can be especially helpful when evaluating children and teens, as unidentified mood issues frequently impact learning styles and academic difficulties.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, who has been practicing Individual, Couple, Family and Group Therapy since 1993.

I take an eclectic and practical approach to counseling and use a variety of therapeutic techniques customized for the client so that they can be successful.

Life can be overwhelming. Difficult relationships, life transitions, unexpected loss or confusion about who we are or what we want can leave us feeling stuck. The good news is that sharing our stories and learning new tools to heal and grow can get us unstuck and moving forward. I provide compassionate counseling for adult individuals for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, grief and loss, and more. I am specially trained in EMDR therapy to help clients efficiently and effectively process traumatic life experiences, big and small. Learn more about EMDR at www.emdria.org.

I am passionate about learning about and helping others, which was my purpose in pursing the mental health field. Since entering the field, I have worked with individuals of all ages dealing with significant mental and behavioral health concerns. I have focused on educating myself to be a trauma-informed clinical and to focus my areas of expertise for adolescents and adults dealing with issues including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, self-injurious behaviors and interpersonal difficulties. I offer teletherapy services for Florida clients due to being stationed in North Carolina as an Army spouse presently.

Life doesn't always go how we think it should. We face difficulties - maybe with a spouse or co-worker, maybe within ourselves. I strive to create a safe and warm place to help you though challenges, such as anxiety, anger management, grief, depression, communication skills, low self-esteem, life transition, relationship issues, and spiritual/religious questions. Having been married for 15 years, I enjoy helping married couples to find a healthy relationship. Combining compassion and directness, I work with you to explore the difficulties and change them. I enjoy integrating Christian faith and counseling, if desired by the client.

I use a collaborative approach of therapy. I find this method to be very effective in the treatment of my clients. My clients and I work together to achieve the desired goal, which has been proven to empower the individual. I ensure therapy is conducted in a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental environment. I believe everyone is capable of change and can overcome any life obstacle.
