Chronic Illness Therapists in Charlotte, NC

You or your loved one may be dealing with overwhelming stress, previous traumatic experiences, loss, or everyday life events, but what matters most is you are looking for ways to navigate these challenges. There are ways to use your strengths to move towards a meaningful life in line with your goals and aspirations. Together we will work to reach a greater understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Personal growth is unique, but we will aim to get you where you want to be, while encouraging development in areas aligned with your values.

I believe it is my job to collaborate with my clients to create a Narrative that feels authentic and attuned their passions, identities, and values. We often get lost in what we feel like we should or can't do, which confines us in little boxes that make it hard for us to feel vibrant and celebrate our uniqueness. I believe that when we explore and deconstruct the social constructions and dominant discourses in our social-cultural location and biases that don't align with our personal experiences or beliefs we have the autonomy and freedom to get in touch with our most core self and better understand how we interact with our world.

I've had the honor and privilege of helping individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, personality disorder, and substance use. I enjoy working with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds and work diligently to treat all people with dignity and respect.

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 bring over a decade of experience to my practice, where I work with a wide range of struggles. I bring special expertise to self-image/self-esteem issues, trauma, and grief. As a holistic practitioner, I don’t limit my focus to treating symptoms or replacing behaviors. I work with body, spirit, heart, and gut, offering a space where you can step into a transformed relationship with yourself. I go underneath strategies and tools to help you develop inner resources, listen to your body and nervous system, let go of what no longer serves you, and bring new energy and clarity to your most important connections.

Are you in transition or feeling stressed? Seeking balance, a new pathway, a way to a life of your own design?

In need of something more intensive? We offer individual and group travel retreats to accelerate your gains.

When going through struggles in life, you do not have to suffer in silence nor do you have to endure the journey alone. I will actively pursue the fulfillment of your therapeutic goals by listening, collaborating with you, and offering suggestions to foster positive change. Each session is conducted with an impartial approach which ensures that everyone in the session feels heard and understood. My clinical areas of focus include, but are not limited to grief & loss, relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, and supporting the highly sensitive person (HSP).

For several years I have specialized in anxiety disorders. Individuals with anxiety disorders tend to struggle with chronic doubt that interrupts their ability to enjoy life. They tend to be living in their hypothetical lives, versus their actual lives. They are asking themselves, "but what if...[insert worst case scenario]." My goals for YOU is to learn to trust yourself again and to live your actual life, rather than worrying so much about all those "what ifs..."

The folks I work with are those who are struggling with feeling connected to themselves and others. Often my clients have difficulty being in the present moment, instead finding themselves lost inside their mind, imagination, or in the past or future. There's often a deep longing to be connected to others but feel as if there's something in the way. Sometimes my clients feel usure of or inconsistent in who they are, uncertain of what they want and have struggled to find happiness and contentment in life. For my clients, life can often feel blurry or fuzzy with difficulty remembering the recent or distant past.
