*Accepting new clients..I have worked in the Charlotte area since 1997 completing evaluations and providing counseling. I specialize in assessing and diagnosing children, adolescents, and young adults. Psychological evaluations provide information necessary to help individuals achieve success in their lives. Parents often question: under-achievement, inattention/distractibility, executive skills, proper interventions, and/or strengths and weaknesses of their child. I assess for learning disabilities, attention disorders, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, giftedness, kindergarten readiness, and private school admissions (CAIS).

I offer virtual individual, parenting/caregiver (with an emphasis on autism spectrum disorder), and family therapy sessions.
Accepting new clients both in person and virtually. Are you or your child struggling with mental health and school? Are you or your child struggling with anticipatory anxiety related to overwhelming workloads, talking to a teacher or coach, or interacting with peers? We all want to feel like we belong. We all want to find our place where we feel safe to be our true selves. Parents, have you been struggling with understanding why your child is struggling with negative behaviors, not listening, or disobeying rules? These are many, but not all, of the many impacts mental health can have on us individually and as a family unit.

I work with a range of mental and behavioral health issues including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, adjustment disorders, autism, and selective and progressive mutism.
Each person is a unique individual whose life and experience is different from anyone else, and deserves to be addressed with unconditional positive regard for themselves and their circumstances. This is why I place an emphasis on authenticity and the importance of understanding each person as a whole, focusing on healing through the integration of mental, physical, and spiritual health. As a therapist, I will involve strategies and techniques including CBT, sandtray and sandplay, motivational interviewing, addressing the mind and body connection, and the incorporation of ongoing psychoeducation.

I utilize a person-centered approach to address trauma, anxiety, ADHD, autism, depression, life transitions, and self-esteem.
Therapy can be hard, regardless if this is your first time seeking help or if you’ve had some experience in treatment. Sometimes we may feel our lives are so complicated that we don’t even know where to start. If you’re finding yourself overwhelmed or lost, it might be time to allow yourself to be supported and prioritized. I’d be honored to help you identify and initiate action towards the valuable life you strive to live. I have three years of experience helping teens and adults identify and adopt healthier patterns of thinking and feeling to improve their quality of life and relationships.

I specialize in working with individuals with autism and co-occurring psychiatric conditions. I understand how people with developmental disabilities may present psychiatric conditions differently, such as depression and anxiety, than individuals without developmental disabilities. I also enjoy working with college-aged/young adults who are in the process of transitioning to the "real world," and helping them with the stressors of "adulting."

Your mind is racing, you feel overwhelmed and as though you can barely hold it together. You feel the pressure of the expectations of others and you live in constant dread of letting them down, or worse being discovered for being a fraud. Even in the quiet of the night your mind races with all the things you need to do and is constantly worried about what you have forgotten, or who you may have let down. You feel powerless to change any of it. This isn’t you, you are used to being fun, passionate, and excited. The worry, the pressure, the desire to be perfect, have all robbed you of your ability to truly engage with your life.

You feel isolated, alone, and in a constant state of anxiety and dread. You know that masking your true self to fit in can only get you so far. It takes a lot of energy to mask and only leads to more emotional exhaustion. To cope with this burnout and exhaustion, maybe you binge your favorite show on Netflix, or listen to your favorite album on a loop just to reclaim any ounce of mental energy back. Maybe it is other things to numb out the pain, that we have all done, like drinking alcohol. It's that feeling of safety, connectivity, and belonging that we are all searching for, but it can so hard to find on our own.
