In Person & Virtual Therapy | Charlotte, NC
Virtual Sessions Statewide
You carry so much - the weight of responsibilities, the pressure to keep it all together, the quiet moments when you wonder, When do I get to breathe?
Somewhere along the way, you lost touch with you—your needs, your peace, your sense of self.
Anxiety, grief, trauma, or the weight of depression may be making it harder to move forward.
But you don’t have to stay stuck.
You deserve support. You deserve space to heal. And you deserve a clear path forward—one that feels empowering, hopeful, and aligned with who you truly are.
Find hope. Find your voice. Find yourself.
There is hope for the woman you are becoming.
MEET
FOUNDER & OPERATING CLINICAL THERAPIST
I’m a Board & Nationally Certified Counselor who specializes in women's counseling & maternal mental health. I hold master's degrees in elementary education & clinical mental health counseling, w/ additional training in perinatal mood disorders and early childhood trauma.
My training in attachment, relational psychotherapy & perinatal mental health, along w/ 10+ years of work elevating women's' voices helps craft my expertise in helping women build a strong sense of self worth & confidence in using their voice to create fulfilling & satisfying lives & relationships.
There are so many voices out there telling you who you should be, what you should be doing, and how you should be doing it. Therapy is the time & space in your schedule to quiet the outside voices so you can find your own. We’ll explore your needs & wants, and how you want to show up & feel in your own life. You deserve to take up space, be heard, and to build a life that feels the most authentic to you. I’m here to help you along the way.
Specialties
-
There are endless demands & expectations placed on your time and energy - and it feels like there’s never enough of either. This can show up in your life as a chronic sense of urgency, constant worry, or feeling like the other shoe is going to drop at any second.
There is hope in finding a sense of control and balance in your life that will give you a chance to catch your breath.
Therapy is a time and place to focus on taking that breath so you can begin prioritizing your own needs and develop the ability to stay present in the moment.
-
Many times we find ourselves stuck repeating the same arguments in our relationships, leaving us feeling angry & disconnected because we never feel completely heard.
What we really want is to know is that our person really hears us and gets it. We want to feel like we’re important, that we matter and that we can depend on them.
In therapy, we’ll examine these cycles to see where you’re getting stuck. We’ll explore what you’re really wanting, needing, and asking for. You’ll come to understand the cycle you’re caught in so you can feel confident in speaking up, staying calm, and feeling heard.
-
When attachment injury and betrayal trauma happen, it turns our internal world upside down. It’s a shock to our entire system, emotionally, mentally & physically. It causes you to question what’s real and get stuck constantly trying to make sense of your world so you can feel safe again.
When we’re injured in relationship, we need to heal in connection with others - but at a safe and slow pace that our system can tolerate.
Together, we can process the grief and shock of these wounds so you can get your bearings, regain a sense of safety, overcome shame cycles and feel confident in your ability to use your voice to get what you need.
-
As a result of early and/or consistent traumas, we unconsciously create ways to protect ourselves that impact our self esteem, self worth, ability to tolerate stress, and ability to have satisfying relationships as adults.
Our goal is to work towards creating a sense of safety within yourself as an adult that you can access consistently outside of the therapy room, so you can remain present and grounded.
-
Motherhood is a massive transition that impacts every area in your life. It's accompanied by shifts in your identity, priorities, relationships, and an increase in what’s expected of you. The weight of carrying it all is insurmountable.
Maternal mental health counseling offers specific support, strategies, & perspective as it's such a unique personal experience.
Whether you are struggling with infertility, birth trauma, postpartum anxiety/depression/rage, attachment or finding yourself again in motherhood, therapy offers you consistent support, valuable insight, and concrete strategies to regain a sense of yourself and in your confidence to use your voice.
APPROACH
My approach to therapy is relational and interactive. That means I prioritize creating a sense of safety & trust within the therapeutic relationship first. l hold time and space for you to tell your story at your own pace, and I also engage with you in different ways over as our relationship develops.
From a psychodynamic & attachment based lens we’ll explore parts of you like your inner critic, so you can come to understand her & offer her the compassion she needs. We'll identify attachment patterns that sneak into your adult relationships unconsciously, allowing you to live from a more present state and not on autopilot driven by outdated coping mechanisms. At times I'll also provide tools & insight to help regulate your nervous system to help create the safety you need.
While each client’s treatment is unique, the common thread that follows me through my work is a genuine desire to create a space where all parts of you feel safe to show up. This is the foundation of being able to create change. I welcome and encourage you to show up to each session just as you are that day or in that moment. You will be met with curiosity, sincerity, and a deeply held belief that you deserve to be heard, seen, and known.
