ART Therapists in Charlotte, NC

I believe the relationship between myself and my clients is the most important part of therapy. My clients have full autonomy to lead us where they would like the session(s) to go. I provide gentle, yet direct, feedback to my clients. I specialize working with young people and adults who have experienced trauma, are struggling with self-harm, depression, and relationship issue(s). It is so important for clients to feel safe when they are processing such intimate, and sometimes painful, emotions. I believe all people deserve to be seen, heard, and believed in.

As a therapist who has been practicing for over 20 years, I have developed a well-honed approach, style, skillset, and flow, which helps to make your experience personalized, efficient, responsive, and often highly effective. I possess the intellect and experience to meet you where you are. I intentionally keep my practice small so that I can respond quickly to your needs. Most people do not reach out to therapists because they want to start therapy in 3 months; they probably needed to start yesterday! I can usually get you started within the week and offer flexible scheduling and evening appointments if necessary.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection—with a touch of humor along the way. I support clients through life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relational struggles, and major transitions. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that support your well-being and those that may be holding you back, always with a focus on your unique values, needs, and goals. Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I tailor our work to help you feel empowered, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Taking this step toward healing is courageous, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you create the life you want.

Professionally, I have advanced training and experience in treating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and insomnia. For six years, I worked for the VA, helping veterans heal the invisible wounds of combat and other traumatic experiences. Now, I offer therapy to the wider community, including veterans. I love what I do, and that shine through in my work. Please feel free to contact me to learn more about my practice and to set up an appointment.

Are you worried about the way you are feeling? Maybe you are overwhelmed, can't sleep, are plagued by intrusive thoughts, or just feel sad and stuck. I provide therapy designed for healing and growth. Using research based strategies tailored to how you learn, we will build on your strengths to help you reach the life you want, on a timeline that feels right for you. You are not in this alone, and together we will create a plan to help you feel well, honor your emotions, and feel confident in yourself and your choices.

Charlotte's position as a major banking and financial hub drives strong demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, perfectionism, and the particular pressures of corporate and executive careers. The city has grown rapidly through domestic migration, and therapists frequently work with the isolation, loneliness, and adjustment difficulties common among newcomers building community in a fast-growing city. Charlotte also has a strong faith community, and many therapists offer faith-integrated approaches alongside evidence-based treatment for clients who value that alignment. Atrium Health and Novant Health serve as the city's major institutional mental health anchors.
