Therapists in Charlotte, NC

Is being perceived exhausting? Do you feel like emotions control you instead of you controlling them? Feel like life feels heavier than it's supposed to? I'm here to help. My work is focused on being neuroaffirmative, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, trauma-informed, and culturally competent for all. Life can be unpredictable, things don't go as planned, or it feels like our brain is fighting against us, but I'm glad you're here. I'm here to support you, it's okay to feel like you need to be heard, have someone to talk things through with, celebrate the little wins in life, and hold you accountable to the goals you want to succeed in.

Are you tired of trying to hold it together? Then I invite you to a place of hard-work, tears, growth and most importantly healing. As you know, we can't change the difficult situations of our past, but we can work together so that you can have an understanding of why you have been struggling. Together we can address your mood disorder and can unearth the long standing negative perceptions that have been holding you back. Although we can not erase painful memories, I can assist you in changing your emotional response to the event(s), and find resolution, so that you can begin to live a more fulfilling life.

Dating, trouble with boundaries, sexual trauma, relationship trauma, codependency, childhood trauma, relationship conflict, and more may lead to feeling as though it is difficult to have fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others.

My priority is to offer an empowering, trauma-focused safe space where you can heal and cultivate healthy relationships with yourself and others.

The fact that you have found yourself here on this page tells me that you have already taken that first step beyond survival and towards deeper living.
