Sports Performance Therapists in Charlotte, NC

My ideal clients are… individuals, couples and adolescents who seek to restore balance and find joy in their bodies, lives, relationships and communications.

Life is complicated. Often the difficulties and stress we face create conflict and struggles that need to be shared with others. Through counseling, I believe that clients can find relief from the stress and pain of broken relationships, addiction, past traumas and unidentified emotional and spiritual wounds. I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety or depression. I also work with people experiencing grief or who have been in abusive relationships. I work collaboratively with clients to help them find peace and rest in the midst of daily life.

I believe that therapy is one of the most constructive tools and resources at our disposal. I believe by analyzing, evaluating and modifying our life philosophy, thinking and interaction patters we can make effective change and improve the quality of our lives. As a therapist, I strive to provide a supportive, respectful and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can fully explore your concerns, challenges, and values. As we work together I will gain an understanding to appropriately implement and modify my treatment approach to meet your needs.

Parenting adolescents is challenging. As your teen gets older, they may show signs of struggling in some or many areas of their lives. You may notice personality changes, or they no longer have the same interests or no longer seem motivated. You’ve read books, tried different strategies and tried to communicate with your teen, but there has not been sustained change. You know that your teen has potential, but how do you help them find it? Looking for outside help, can be a scary step, with many questions. Will someone be able to connect with my teen, am I able to trust that person/will my teen be able to?

I work with adult males, with a special focus on fathers. These clients want to examine their beliefs, behavior patterns, and relationships in order to work toward a life where their choices and values are aligned. Potential clients of mine may recognize that something is missing in their life, or they are feeling stuck. You may feel as if you know where you want to be but don't know how to get out of your own way. You might feel as if the stresses of everyday life, job, and relationships are just too much to bear. Potential clients may also value utilizing the therapeutic benefits of nature to help in their wellness journey.

Has a past experience left you feeling stuck and unable to reach your full potential? Events such as a tragic accident, military combat, loss of a loved one, bullying, domestic violence, divorce, childhood abuse and living with a parent diagnosed with a mental illness are all traumatic experiences that can cause stress and imbalance in your life. I specialize in helping children feel better about themselves; parents feel empowered with the skills to raise their children; and individuals feel connected and able to find new meaning in life free of anger, anxiety, and sadness.

My focus is to assist children, adolescents, families, and adults to build positive self image through enhancing self esteem, improving social skills, and reducing family and peer conflicts. I work closely with parents to strengthen their limit setting, clear expectations, and conflict resolution abilities through improved communication skills. Setting limits and boundaries in all relationships and dynamics is a tool that I often use in my therapeutic process. Giving children, parents, couples and individuals tools to maneuver through the daily issues are tools and techniques that I focus on in our sessions.
