EMDR Therapists in Charlotte, NC

Feeling overwhelmed or dissatisfied with your life? If you have experienced trauma, whether recurring or as an isolated incident, sometimes the typical stresses of a normal day can provoke anxiety, fear, anger, or withdrawal. Therapy can give you the tools to deal with life's challenges and can enable you to minimize your stress levels while continuing your personal growth. I support you in exploring ways to increase happiness and well-being while you integrate lasting, positive changes in your relationships with others, and most importantly, with yourself.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the primary ingredient to successful therapy. I work hard to create a warm, trusting relationship with each client and go at their pace. I enjoy working with individuals (21+). Particular areas of interest for me include trauma healing, creating healthy attachment relationships, emotionally healthy spirituality (including deconstruction/reconstruction), body image, parenting support, and women's issues. I welcome and value people from all religious backgrounds, sexual orientations and ethnicities. I see clients from 9 a.m.- 1 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, both in-person and virtually.

After 10 years of experience I have found a passion working with adolescents and young adults. I spent much of my time working in acute settings with self-harm and suicidal thoughts as a result of trauma, depression, anxiety, and a variety of other diagnoses. I enjoy helping my clients gain a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they are connected. We work together to gain skills to better manage, cope, and communicate difficult emotions in a health way. In addition, I enjoy helping teens strengthen their ability to communicate to parents and their supports. I currently see ages 13-25

Throughout life’s journey, we may find ourselves feeling lost, unsure of where to start of where to go. We realize that past experiences have shaped our worldview, and how we relate to and connect with others. We may recognize that there are patterns within our family system that we want to break, but aren’t sure how. When we have experienced trauma, we may find it easier to leave it in the past; however, these experiences can change how we think and feel about ourselves and our surroundings. Through therapy, we can learn new skills to strengthen our relationships and establish secure attachment patterns.

Feeling stuck and repeating the same story day after day can be exhausting. Even when things seem to change around you, it often feels like you're not changing with them. You might find yourself disconnected from who you are, longing for deeper connections with others and a sense of stability and safety you've never fully experienced. You aspire to explore the deep-rooted narratives and struggles that hold you back, seeking a fulfilling and enriching life.

Life can come at you fast in the most annoying ways such as experiencing difficulty in your relationships, work and family. Feelings of anger, anxiety, worry, depression can contribute to low self worth.

If you're in a relationship (family, friend, significant other) that feels uncomfortable for any reason, you may need to learn how to communicate more effectively to get your needs met. Do you often find yourself feeling defensive, shamed, or judged? Often, difficulties arise from a lack of conflict resolution skills. The good news is, those can be learned. Or maybe you've been through a traumatic experience that you've been avoiding talking about, but you know deep down it's somehow getting in your way. That can be overcome as well. If you're looking for closer relationships or deeper meaning in your life, I'd like to help.
