Therapists for Teens in Charlotte, NC

Often times we approach a point in life where we just need to reset. Have you experienced difficulty moving forward, being accepted or finding your way in new spaces? Do you find yourself with racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, and consistent overthinking. Do you need to learn how to set safe boundaries and walk in a path full of promise? Are you ready to break free from toxic thought patterns and negative self-talk? Do you want to embrace and believe the statement "I am enough"? If anxiety, fear, depression, or shame have been thoughts you've had over the past month. It's time for change and change starts here.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young teens (5-15) with neurodevelopmental disorders and behavioral challenges. The world is not designed for neurodiverse individuals, which may cause your child to struggle. I also appreciate working with their siblings and caretakers as I acknowledge it is a unique life experience of loving someone with a neurodevelopmental disorder. To address my client's goals, I utilize evidence-based interventions and techniques from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), pivotal response treatment (PRT), and mindfulness.

Tackling all that may be thrown your way can be incredibly difficult especially if you take on the challenge alone. My goal is to support and hold space for you on that journey. If you are experiencing anxiety, grief, or life transitions, I will stand beside you as you work to process their impact on your day to day life. I am here to provide encouragement and time to vent your frustrations while offering helpful coping skills.

At times, it can be difficult to feel in control, stay motivated, and find fulfillment despite all the pressures from our society and those we develop for ourselves. We arrive at more trying moments at different points in life, and all meet these challenges with unique experiences, beliefs, circumstances, and minds. Many of us are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, confusion about goals for our future, low self-esteem, body image issues, and relationship difficulties. An effort to deal with one obstacle can lead to developing habits and ways of coping that create new difficulties in another area.

ONLY Providing Virtual Therapy in NC. I'm a fully licensed clinical social worker with 7 years of professional experience in an outpatient therapy setting.

In our lives we juggle multiple relationships/ roles every day; our relationship to friends, family, our significant others, & co-workers/ teachers. Let's not forget the relationship to ourselves, one of the most important relationships we can have! Sometimes it is overwhelming trying to be the best that we can be. Sometimes we settle for just getting by. That is okay, to a point. However, when we do not feel like ourselves, or our relationships start changing, feeling stressed, or off track, to a point that it is influencing other parts of our lives that is where I can help.

And if you’re wondering if now is the right time, it probably is.

Rewriting your life story can take many pages and much time. One of the greatest lessons is that as the author of your story you can write and rewrite as much as possible. Finding that balance and adjusting to life's role can be very challenging but you do not have to do that alone.

As a Counselor, I will work hard to help clients gain insight into both past and present experiences in order to empower themselves to make informed choices that lead to meaningful change. Talk therapy can be either in-person or online. I will accommodate what is most comfortable for my clients. I also offer Neurofeedback in my practice. Neurofeedback is a brain training technique that has been shown to be safe and effective for over 30 years. It is a form of biofeedback that offers the brain information about its own electrical activity, which has a profound impact on an individual's stress response.

I have a huge and growing passion for play therapy. The value of play in a child’s life cannot be dimmed down to a number, but can be seen to affect their development, self esteem, boundaries, confidence levels, and so much more. Using a fantastic playroom just for your child, with toys hand picked for their needs, I believe that they are capable of healing from within given the right tools and a little help from adults. Play Therapy focuses on children starting at age 4 through adolescence and uses scaffolding as they grow and learn how to express and identify confusing emotions that may come up through adversity.

My work benefits those who are interested in an approach that draws on an eclectic mix of modalities. Over my career, I’ve developed an expansive approach to counseling services, rooted in cultural sensitivity. I can help address the emotional parts of your life with a focus on returning to your own “knowing”. This work aligns the various arenas of their life (personal, professional, relationships, parenting, etc.) when you are ready for growth and alignment in your overall life. The work we will do together is focused on solutions, tools, and practical skills to apply.

I am passionate about improving the lives of children and their families by collaborating with parents and children to help them meet their goals. I work with children of all ages to address difficulties including anxiety, ADHD, OCD, depression, anger management, school difficulties, social skills, and behavioral problems. In order to help clients achieve clarity about their strengths and challenges, I specialize in comprehensive evaluations for children from birth through adolescence. Assessments can provide information about learning/academic achievement, developmental delays, kindergarten readiness, giftedness, attention/ADHD, behavior, or social/emotional vulnerabilities.

I love the helping process, and I am here to learn about you – your wisdom, your creativity, and the ways that you have coped with challenges in the past. During our time together, we will explore the experiences you have had in an attempt to bring awareness to things that are working well and things that you would like to change. Maybe you have struggled with self-esteem and fear being judged by others. Perhaps you’re dealing with changes in your life, taking on a new career, entering a new relationship, or navigating parenthood – transitions that all can bring both joy and stress.

I am looking forward to working with people who are both motivated and unmotivated for treatment as I can appreciate the difficulty in beginning a therapeutic relationship. My ideal clientele would be respectful and at least willing to take a chance on therapy.
