Therapists in Charlotte, NC
My main approach to therapy is utilizing Internal Family Systems-informed practices, Inner Child Work, ACT, person-centered counseling, and strengths-based therapy, as well as CBT, DBT, narrative counseling, etc.
Have you been holding onto a burden since you were a child or a young adult? Are you ready to grow into the person you want to be and utilize the skills needed to cope with life’s difficulties? Do you want a counselor to see you for who you really are and give you a safe space to work through any concerns you bring to counseling? As a genderfluid counselor, I can help you onto the path to true healing whether that be from PTSD, C-PTSD, and trauma-related concerns, dissociation, LGBTQIA+ issues, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, etc.

I strive to create an environment for each client that is as liberating as it is welcoming to inspire a growth mindset. Our sessions have a person-centered foundation and incorporate approaches such as CBT, Somatic, ACT, Existential, Narrative, Brainspotting, and yoga-based therapies as needed. I find that the methods listed help foster a growth mindset and allow clients to reflect on their experiences and explore their goals and values at a pace that suits them. Sessions, treatment planning, and goals are the result of our partnership, and it's important that you always feel comfortable in the design of your care.

With adults & teens, I use a cognitive-behavioral framework while incorporating interventions and skills to ensure holistic treatment for clients to process & redefine difficult experiences.
Life can often get in the way of us taking care of ourselves and providing the space for us to grow and thrive. Stress, trauma, and difficult experiences often interrupt our emotional well-being and create emotional distress. Everyone deserves the opportunity to find their true self to experience joy. Hence, it's my passion to come alongside kids, teens, and adults, and support them in the journey toward health and happiness.

Once this foundation is established, we will explore therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness Movement, Polyvagal Theory, and attachment-based exploration.
Hi all and congratulations on taking the courageous step toward healing. I am a dedicated trauma therapist with a specialized focus on attachment wounds, complex relational trauma, and processing family dynamics across the lifespan. My person-centered approach allows us to delve into deep-seated patterns that often underpin trauma responses and impact self-worth and the ability to maintain healthy relationships. I believe that trauma and life stressors affect both the brain and body. For deep healing to occur, we must first connect with ourselves, develop positive coping skills, and attune to our nervous system.

I draw from several different counseling theories including Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, but strive to be individual and intersectional in my approach with helping clients towards their goals.
Chances are, if you're reading this, you are already noticing there are behaviors or patterns in your life you think could be better, and think it could be helpful to talk to someone about them. Someone who's not a friend, parent, teacher, or co-worker; someone who is impartial, someone with nothing to gain from you going one way or another. Engaging in counseling is a brave choice, and I am here to give space to your burdens so that you can continue on your journey that much lighter.

I pull from person centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral and acceptance and commitment theories.
Many people can be too hard and not kind enough to themselves. Life is difficult enough, and not being on their own side through their struggles makes it even more so. Whether you’re new to therapy or have some experience with it, starting with a new therapist can be overwhelming. I invite you to a warm, inviting space where you are able to show your full self. I tend to use a holistic and integrative approach. Your sessions are your time and I will meet you where you’re at while providing a therapist viewpoint.

I believe through Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, we will be able to focus on our unconscious mind and identify the root causes of current life stressors.
Specialty: Anxiety and Inner Child Trauma. Are you at a place in life where you want to achieve your goals and live out your dreams, but you feel stuck? Do you need someone to talk to who will just listen? Do you feel like issues from your childhood or past are affecting how you feel, think, and behave, & are affecting your ability to maintain meaning relationships? I’m a nature-loving psychotherapist. I’ve always used nature to cope with my anxiety & daily life stressors. I’ve been an over-thinker and nature photographer (safespacesisi) since I was 14 & I’ve been practicing in the mental health field since 2018!

I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy principles and interventions to encourage insight and behavioral change.
Going to therapy for the first time or finding a new therapist can feel scary. Each of us faces challenges, life transitions, and pain - coping with that stress on our own eventually takes its toll. Having a trusted therapist to turn to in our struggle can make challenges easier to navigate and ultimately lead to lasting and positive change. Though significant portion of my work is with gifted individuals, I also work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
