Women face many challenges in life. We work hard to balance the expectations of our career, our home life and our relationships. As women we often put ourselves last as we focus on the needs of others first. I am here to help you sort through these expectations so you can find a healthy balance, peace, and most importantly feel like yourself again. ​​ If you are a woman and are experiencing anxiety, depression, shame or guilt - I am here to help. I have dedicated my career to helping women grow through their challenging moments. I truly believe with the right support we can heal and come out on the other side with wisdom and a different perspective on life. I enjoy helping women see their strengths, teach them tools and help them find hope and resilience. As a woman and mother I know what it feels like to experience anxiety surrounding parenting and motherhood, in addition to the struggles of work-life balance. I am here to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment to help you unpack all the things that are causing stress in your life. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and the Owner of Charlotte Women's Counseling. I have over ten years of counseling experience serving mothers and families. I have specialized training in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. This allows me to focus on motherhood, pregnancy, postpartum and infertility. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and work with a focus on trauma and childhood trauma. Often when unresolved trauma in our life surfaces it looks like anxiety and depression. As a therapist I want to help you be the best version of yourself.
