Licensed Therapist in Charlotte, NC

Some people come to therapy looking for quick fixes, like breathing exercises or other trendy new techniques. That’s terrific, but that’s NOT how I approach therapy.

I’m a relational therapist, not a mechanic. I believe change happens in the interpersonal encounter, not by someone trying to “fix” you.

There are many different names for how I approach my work as a therapist—existential, interpersonal, gestalt, depth therapy. But it’s easier just to say I’m committed to being fully present and real with you.        

In sessions, I’m inquisitive and actively engaged while helping you get in touch with your deepest concerns and challenging your resistances in a supportive but direct way. That’s a poetic way of saying I might call you on your shit from time to time.  

I don’t take notes like a lot of other therapists, because I believe therapy should be conversational. I want you to feel heard and comfortable in sharing your story—both of which are hard to pull off when someone is scribbling notes about you on a legal pad.

I also focus on seeing you as the unique human being that you are, not some clinical label or list of symptoms. In other words, I’m not the kind of therapist who takes a “disordered” view of people, as if there’s something inherently wrong with you. 

And I bring curiosity and respect to the different cultural realities and experiences that shape who you are as a person. I’ll never put you in a box. I promise.

Have you been longing for change but putting it off? Are you ready to put yourself first and take the initial step toward calm, confidence, and connection?
