Therapists in Charlotte, NC

It's as if you are walking on egg shells every single day. Your child is controlling, bossy, stubborn and strong-willed. You've given up on 'my way or the high way' because the tantrums are just no longer worth it. Your son or daughter has ADHD, Aspergers, or is Gifted. You need help. You are looking for answers and solutions- and need immediate support to get back in charge. Some days it is absolutely exhausting- and other days it is so easy! There's the battles, the refusing to wear certain clothes, picky eating, not doing chores, not listening, not doing homework, acting out and the list goes on.

I have a passion for helping kids, teens, young adults, and parents. A former lawyer, business executive, and educator, I blend unique life experiences with a compassionate approach to therapy. With six kids of my own, I empathize with young people and parents alike. On a personal level, one of my greatest passions is travel. Having explored over 30 different countries, I realize the importance of cultural diversity and how it enriches our understanding of the world. My experiences shape my counseling practice as I strive to connect with clients from all walks of life. I also enjoy coaching youth sports, coffee, and a good book.

Is your child or teen overly emotional and reactive? Does your child withdrawal from others or refuse to try things because he or she is afraid of failing or worried about what others think? Does he or she have large emotional outbursts over small things? Or is your child or teen struggling with low self-esteem, communication with others, and developing meaningful friendships? Is your child or teen overly anxious when asked to do a task, transition to a new activity, or to try something new? Has your child or teen experienced a difficult life event, transition, or traumatic experience? You are not alone and I can help.

The process of healing and growth is a journey that requires partnership and support. Life is hard and I believe that counseling is a process by which we work together to identify and work through difficult life challenges that limit self-awareness and personal growth. My primary goal as your counselor is to create a safe, accepting, and comfortable environment where we work collaboratively to meet your needs and goals.

I have over 25 years of experience working with children, adults and families, with a focus on younger children and those dealing with trauma. I am accepting new clients with my group practice.

Accepting new clients. I strive to make therapy engaging, empowering, and effective by tailoring interventions to meet the specific developmental stages and preferences of each client. By creating a safe and nurturing space, I collaborate closely with clients to understand their unique strengths, needs, and goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has been helping people in the Charlotte area make essential changes in their lives for 21years. I believe that a frank and gentle approach which values the therapeutic relationship is the key to facilitate individual change. My approach is an active one in which I work with the client to find resources and experiences that create a sense of hope within. I have two major areas of focus: life span issues in adults; adjustment problems in children and adolescents. With each group I cultivate a sense of humor and an ability to play as part of my therapy.

At Abilities Reimagined, we specialize in testing for learning and behavioral disorders such as ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, autism, anxiety, and more. Our assessments extend beyond a one-time office visit. We prioritize capturing the most accurate daily picture of your child's abilities. When appropriate, we offer the option to conduct observations in their natural environment like school. In addition to evaluations for disabilities, we also conduct WISC-V and WAIS-IV assessments for giftedness and provide admissions testing for private schools.

As a child I was diagnosed with ADHD, Learning Disabilities, and various other labels. None of those labels mattered though, because when I found someone who cared and listened everything changed. We all have the ability to overcome the challenges in our lives and gain personal strength through the therapy process.

I enjoy caring for my clients, who struggle to feel loved and cared for daily.

Many of my clients feel like their emotional needs aren’t being met. They feel guilty for wanting more in their lives and have difficulty advocating for themselves. I use EMDR, a structured yet flexible approach, to help clients process their trauma, reduce psychological distress, and promote healing and emotional well-being.
