I work with clients who face a range of challenges, including stress; symptoms of anxiety and depression; adjustment to life transitions; grief and loss; relationship difficulties; chronic illness; trauma; and issues related to sexual and/or gender identity.
Sometimes in life we find ourselves feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. When I work with clients, I strive to help them create the supportive, therapeutic ground from which they can find the stability and balance to move forward, heal, and grow. I applaud you for taking the first step in this process – reaching out for help.

I work with highly motivated adults who are dealing with concerns including anxiety and depression, self-esteem and identity issues, life transitions, grief and loss, and relationship stress.
Maybe you've been listening to podcasts, been in masterclasses, and reading self-help books thinking about your emotions so much that you haven't been feeling them. Or maybe you feel as though you are experiencing your emotions "too much." Either way, if you could do this by yourself (whatever the "this" is for you), you would have done it by now! It takes strength and courage to start therapy, and I applaud you for exploring your options. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I offer resilience informed therapy for emotional wellness, mental health, and trauma recovery.

I am an outpatient therapist in Charlotte, NC specializing in adoption and the treatment of developmental trauma. I am keenly versed in the psychological issues and unique social/emotional challenges these children present. Adoptive families are often frustrated and sometimes frightened by their children's behaviors. Most of the children I treat spent time in an orphanage or in the foster care system. A few were adopted at birth.They learned early in life not to rely on adults as a result of early deprivation. Parenting is a challenge! Psychoeducation and support are the essential tools to create healthy families.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
