I am a North Carolina native, born and raised in a small town. I most enjoy witnessing the moment when clients in my care really "get it" and understand themselves better. I consider myself a behaviorist at heart with a passion for trauma-focused therapy.

I believe that everyone is capable of achieving a life worth living and loving. Personality disorder, depression and neurodivergence are my passion areas of expertise.

When we experience existential concerns, identity crisis, cultural distress, it affects us deeply, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and often stuck. Seeking the right help is pivotal in working through, accessing meaning behind the suffering and looking ahead with hope.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Charlotte
Searching for therapists in Charlotte starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Charlotte has therapists across neighborhoods like Uptown, South End, NoDa, Plaza Midwood, and nearby areas, with experience in concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and details about who they typically work with. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, what sessions may look like, and whether their experience fits your needs.
In a large metro area like Charlotte, having many options can make the search feel harder to sort through. It helps to narrow by practical fit first: appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, in-person or virtual session format, and location if you prefer an office near work, home, or transit. Some people prefer meeting in a physical office, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for details about communication style, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Charlotte can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, confirm your benefits, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can filter by preferences, compare therapist profiles, and choose virtual or in-person care, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new patients.
