Positive Psychology Therapists in Huntersville, NC

When one area of your life is under stress, it affects everything else. When emotional health is compromised, physical health is too. All facets of well-being are inseparable and intertwined. It can be exhausting trying to keep it all together. Thus, my passion is addressing the needs of the whole person, not just one dimension. With warmth, sincerity and humor, I create a safe space for getting to the root of what’s going on.

Whatever it is that has prompted you to seek the support of a therapist at this time, I commend you for taking such an important first step. I see this as a sign of strength, and a commitment to address the challenges and obstacles you are currently facing. Having been in my own counseling at pivotal times throughout my life, I have a deep respect for the therapeutic process. It is only through vulnerability and authentic connection that we can truly cultivate the best versions of ourselves, and the counseling process provides a powerful vehicle for doing so. It would be my honor to assist you in this capacity.

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.

***Expanded hours for immediate availability.*** Are you struggling with anxiety and depression? Do you feel uncertain about how to move forward during this difficult time?

Experience more than counseling... Experience your life journey through transformational self-discovery! Are you coping with feelings of anxiety, depression, and/or anger? Are your marital issues so serious that you believe that you cannot carry on? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one? Is your teenager exhibiting difficult behaviors? Are you feeling burned out at work, searching for clarification in your career path, or trying to find meaning in life?... We will work together and empower you to help yourself! I have over 12 years of experience in bilingual individual, couples, and family counseling and life coaching.

My passion for helping others through grief and trauma has become a privilege of joining people on their journey to healing. Whether you are struggling with a loss, life transition, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, or looking to improve your marriage or relationships; my goal is to provide you with an empathetic, trusting and peaceful environment where you can find strength and healing.

While starting therapy can seem daunting, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space in which we'll explore your concerns together. Therapy is a journey of rediscovering clarity, purpose, and joy. I have experience working with a culturally diverse population and provide individual counseling to adolescents and adults. My focus is on counseling clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, stressor related issues, anger management, interpersonal skills deficits, and cultural integration difficulties. As every client is unique, I tailor my therapeutic approach to match the client's needs, values, and goals.

“Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.”- Sigmund Freud. I believe everyone possesses the capability of achieving their goals, but the path to get there is different for everyone; therefore, our sessions will be tailored specifically to you and your unique needs. I am skilled at working with individuals of all ages suffering with anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship issues, grief, and PTSD.

It is my passion to help people help themselves using a holistic approach to address the whole person. Sometimes we get so caught up in the details of life that we have difficulty seeing the big picture. Counseling can help you get more out of life, help you reach your goals and work through challenges and move forward to create and live the life you desire. Stress, anxiety, phobias, depression and life transitions are just some of the issues that I typically address within my practice.

Many people have difficulty adapting to life's unforeseen challenges and seeking help can feel equally challenging. I believe that psychotherapy is invaluable in improving one's quality of life. Our experiences and characteristics can cause conflict in our relationships with ourselves & others. I value each individual's story as it creates our present day reality. Making sense of our life can be difficult to achieve alone. My approach is to help couples develop healthier, more adaptive relationships; nurture stable & respectful relationships; and move beyond the state of feeling "stuck" and toward growth.

If you are struggling to love the life you are living, counseling can help. The many roles we take on can easily create stress and make us lose our focus, but you are a valuable individual and deserve happiness. As a counselor, I will work to empower you to meet your goals in a supportive and encouraging environment with a variety of techniques and skills. As a Board Certified Telemental Health Provider, I am able to meet with clients via secure video in addition to meeting in my office.

I've been a counselor for almost 40 years now. I try to strike a balance between listening, educating, and application. I believe that we all have the same basic healthy needs, but the problems arise in how we try, or don't try, to get those needs met. My practice is called Right Choices Counseling because most people coming for counseling are looking to make better choices with their life, moving forward.

I whole heartedly believe in these values and make an intentional effort to sincerely help every client I have the privilege to work with.

I specialize in empowering compassionate young women who are struggling with anxiety, body image, and eating disorders to find peace and acceptance within themselves and regain self-trust. Always trying to be "perfect" is exhausting. Even though you're a high-achiever, you may still feel like you're not good enough, compare yourself to others, and ruminate over past mistakes. Maybe you notice those negative thoughts translate into how you perceive yourself physically and you struggle to accept yourself.

Sometimes life comes at you fast. Unexpected events occur or transitions happen. That's what makes life exciting, but also challenging at times. Whether it be a job transition, adjusting to a new family, relationship issues or trying to find your way as a parent during the teenage years (or navigating life as a teenager yourself!), these experiences can often cause stress in our lives. As a result, you might find yourself not sleeping well, feeling anxious, experiencing low self-esteem, anger and sadness. You often wonder, when will everything get better and I'll feel like myself again?

I believe therapy is a place to understand and be understood, to feel empowered, emotionally, spiritually and relationally. I have been in the field since 2007 working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with issues ranging from depression and anxiety to addiction and homelessness. I work with all ages, especially focusing on family groups seen individually and together. Every client creates a goal centered plan that includes a variety of interventions from sand and art therapy to trauma focused CBT. Therapy is a safe place to share your journey, learn from the past and move towards the future.
