Find a Therapist in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Change, healing, and growth is a process. It is a process of becoming more whole in being and in relationship. I consider all of who you are in this process: body, mind, and spirit. Each person's journey is unique, and I will guide you as we move through work on this process together. We look at your history, thoughts, emotions, and relational interactions and take a relational and emotion-focused approach with practical ways ways to attend to what you need. My hope is that you grow in understanding and relationship with yourself and others, emotions, how issues affect you, interactions with others and life, the ability to handle future challenges successfully.

Starting therapy can be one of the most important actions a person can take, and I honor the feelings of hope, uncertainty and anxiety that this can create. I will try to make the experience helpful and worthwhile through my active, supportive listening and interest, and the strong belief that, with enough work, everyone can heal and achieve their goals. When I’m with my client our relationship is most important and I try to cultivate trust and feelings of safety that they can say anything and everything. In my twenty-six years as a therapist I have successfully helped many clients with anxiety, low energy, sleep issues, professional struggles, and depression.

As a licensed individual, marriage, and family therapist, I pay special attention to how past and present relationships shape identity and influence stress. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and with various stressors including chemical and behavioral addictions such as compulsive technology use or compulsive sexual behavior, mood disorders such as depression or bi-polar disorder, anxiety and panic disorders, dissociative processes, personality disorders, occupational stressors, and stressful relationship dynamics.
