Female Therapists in Clanton Park, Charlotte, NC

I firmly believe that counseling is a collaborative effort between the client and the therapist and that it takes a sincere joint effort between parties to reach goals. I provide counseling strategies that use active and responsive listening skills and those that focus on development and growth by showing genuine empathy and unconditional positive regard to each client. I realize that clients come from diverse cultures and backgrounds; therefore, I am sensitive to cultural differences in the client's sense of self and how they view relationships, family, and the world.

My ideal client's life may currently feel stressful, in crisis or transition. You may be a survivor of a dysfunctional upbringing and have a strong desire to do better than the examples you were given. You may even find yourself saying: "I know there is more to life than this". You have recognized the need for change but have been unable to break free from cycles of defeat. My joy is empowering young adults and adults to live the life they desire by holding space with them as they journey towards change and redeeming family legacy.

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.

When life gets stagnant, and you feel your are just repeating the same patterns that for years haven't gotten you very far, therapy is a place you can gain clarity. Friends and family are great supports to lean on, but it's hard for them to remain neutral and see things as an objective outsider. You want to show up better in your relationship, live with integrity, and navigate hard transitions in career, education and love. Therapy is not only for when everything feels so overwhelming it's hard to even move. Therapy is also for when you know you can be stronger, calmer, more at peace.

You want someone to understand. You want peace. You want happiness. You want change. Instead you are experiencing spiraling thoughts, fear of the unknown, self-defeating thoughts, negative self-talk, fatigue, preferring isolation, and have lost interest in things you used to enjoy. Or possibly, you are usually the "to-go" person for everyone else, and yet you have no one to "go-to" for yourself. You desire to have it all just make sense. You can have peace within, have happier days, be more confident or just be stronger internally. Always know, that only you can give yourself permission to heal, develop and grow.
