Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 3.4 mi away • Charlotte, NC


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 most often utilize DBT and working with those suffering from emotional dysregulation, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. 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. I love to help folks find their authentic selves and live unapologetically. My experience spans elementary age to mid-life and everything in between. If you are quirky, unique and yearn for skills and stability, I'm the provider for you.

~Life is a balance of holding on and letting go~ Rumi

Are you living a balanced life? What is your story?

Often, our path in life gets off balance when we encounter major life transitions, work stress, relationships struggles, family conflicts, complicated grief and loss and addictions. 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.

Hi, I am licensed to provide both mental health and addiction counseling in NC with 20 years of experience. I am trained in best practice modalities of CBT, DBT, EMDR, CPT, MI, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy which I utilize to assist my clients gain insight into their struggles, learn to modulate emotions, practice healthy coping skills to manage symptoms, problem solve challenges and manifest in sustaining healthy lifestyles. Additionally, my lived experience as a first generation South Asian immigrant, a working parent who has processed her own life transitions and stuck points to seek meaningful growth, is a part of my authentic approach in counseling where I seek to empower and guide my clients in their healing journey. I am trans and LGBTQIA+ informed and committed to providing affirming, inclusive care.

I specialize working with older teens, adults, and couples.

My therapeutic style honors trauma informed, non-judgmental, culturally competent, compassionate, therapeutic guidance to assist you with engaging in a purposeful, vibrant life!

Counseling is a place of acceptance where you can learn to see your true value. You hold the keys to your happiness. You just need support to unlock that door. Doing it alone will keep you stuck. You can learn to trust again. I received specialized training in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am also a Registered Play Therapist and enhance parent-child communication. I have an office where I see individuals and families. I also have two large rooms where I teach parents how to use Play Therapy Skills.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Charlotte

Searching for ADHD therapists in Charlotte starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, or support with organization and follow-through. Medication management is different and is handled by a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for one type of care, while others work with both. If you are searching for an adult ADHD therapist, a therapist for a child, or ADHD counseling for a teen, review each therapist’s listed specialties and training to see whether their experience matches your needs.

Charlotte has many mental health care options, which can make it harder to narrow your search across neighborhoods, schedules, and care formats. In-person therapy may be useful if you prefer a local office near home, work, or school, while virtual appointments can expand your options across North Carolina and make scheduling easier. ADHD can also appear alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship strain, so it can help to look for therapists specializing in ADHD and any related concerns you want to address. Before booking, read therapist bios for details about approach, session structure, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Charlotte can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists in Charlotte who are accepting new patients, compare in-person and virtual availability, and enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review therapist profiles, confirm fit through a free phone consultation when available, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
