Are you overwhelmed by everything you’re managing — work, family, caregiving, relationships, or simply trying to stay afloat? Do you feel pulled in several directions at once, with people relying on you but rarely checking in on how you’re doing? If so, you’re not alone. I’m a licensed therapist in Charlotte, NC, and I help caregivers, helpers, and overfunctioners slow down, breathe, and finally have a space where they don’t have to be “the strong one.”

I specialize in working with teens through adults, including women, young adults, caregivers, school‑system professionals, and individuals navigating adoption‑related concerns. Many of my clients are managing anxiety, overwhelm, family stress, trauma, ADHD‑type symptoms, or major life transitions. In our sessions, you’ll find a grounded, validating space where you can talk openly, feel supported, and build practical skills to help you manage what you’re carrying.

My therapeutic approach is person‑centered, collaborative, and rooted in CBT and experiential techniques. You set the pace, and together we’ll explore what matters most to you, strengthen your coping skills, and create tools that support your growth. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more in control as you reconnect with yourself and move toward a life that feels manageable again.

My Experience

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate with more than twenty years of experience supporting individuals and families, particularly within school systems and adoption‑related contexts. My background has given me a deep understanding of caregiver fatigue, complex family dynamics, and the emotional load that comes with being the one others rely on. I bring a compassionate, practical, and culturally attuned approach to therapy, helping clients navigate anxiety, overwhelm, trauma, burnout, and major life transitions with clarity and confidence.
