About
As an LCSW with 4+ years of clinical experience and 15+ years overall, I bring professional expertise and personal insight to supporting individuals through trauma, loss, crisis, inpatient care, memory care, and life transitions. I believe building new skills and recognizing our strengths can empower us to heal, grow, and create meaningful change.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Trauma Professional with 4+ years of clinical and 15+ years of experience. Licensed in North Carolina, I work with young and older adults, veterans, and those with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, grief, and relationship issues. I specialize in childhood trauma using evidence-based practices. From personal experience, I understand healing. Therapy means understanding who you've been, honoring what helped you survive, and becoming who you are. In our work, expect compassionate, supportive, collaborative care helping you move from surviving to living grounded and intentional.
My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative. I specialize in childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss,ADHD, and relationships. Together we identify limiting patterns and develop healthier coping skills. Expect supportive, nonjudgmental space at your pace. My goal is helping you feel grounded, empowered, and intentional.
Healing does not mean forgetting what you've been through; it means your past does not define your future. You deserve a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I would be honored to walk alongside you toward healing, self-awareness, and balance. If ready, please schedule an appointment now. You do not navigate this journey alone.

Therapy for men maintains a focus on the emotional and mental impacts of being a man in society, dealing with issues like the pressures of toxic masculinity and the traditional familial roles of men, among others. Thriveworks Charlotte therapists who specialize in treating men work to create a safe space for them to emote and care for their mental well-being without fear of judgment.
Therapy for men has many aspects of traditional psychotherapy, but it also maintains a clear person-centered and humanistic approach. Thriveworks Charlotte therapists will work with men to reach their therapy goals through self-reflection and introspection—uncovering specific emotional, behavioral, and mental patterns that are having a negative effect or are inhibiting personal growth and slowly working to change them over time.
Therapy for men at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Therapy for men can last for a few months or occur over the course of years, often continuing until the client feels that their goals are met and their desired growth has been achieved. However, it will likely last at least five months, as that is the average amount of time it takes for the therapeutic process to take effect and bring about lasting change.
This is the Thriveworks philosophy in a nutshell: everyone—and that includes men—can benefit from partnering up with a skilled mental health professional. In doing so, we can better understand, address, and manage our emotions; we can take better care of our mental health; and we can shatter the limits that we’ve created for ourselves. Ultimately, we can learn to live our very best lives.
Does this sound like something you’re interested in? The counselors and therapists at Thriveworks South Charlotte want to give you the care you deserve, and they’ll help you work through whatever issues you may be dealing with. Reach out today to get started.
Are you a guy whose thought about seeking mental health care, but always talked yourself out of it? Do you still wonder, to this day, just how counseling or therapy could benefit you? Whatever challenge you are facing, a counselor or therapist at Thriveworks South Charlotte can help you find a solution. Here are a few things you could gain from working with one of our providers:
Often, men grow up thinking that to show emotions is to show weakness. However, this is just not the case. Instead, opening up about our emotions shows great strength—additionally, holding in those feelings will only make the emotional turmoil worse. Here at Thriveworks, we hope to make a difference in the lives of men struggling to open up about their feelings or the issues they deal with every day. These issues might include…
This is not a comprehensive list, but a short glimpse of what our counselors and therapists can help you address. Whatever the case is, our counselors will utilize their knowledge, skills, and experience to help you break through those obstacles.
Are you struggling with a mental illness that threatens to tear your life to shreds? Are your relationships falling apart? Do you need someone to talk to who isn’t a family member or friend? Consider consulting one of our counselors or therapists at Thriveworks South Charlotte. Our providers know and understand that men struggle too—often with unique issues, of which might be rooted in the many misconceptions out there about mental health. In any case, they can provide you with the guidance you’re searching for.
To get started at Thriveworks South Charlotte, all you have to do is call (704) 969-2597. A scheduling specialist will greet you and assist you with setting up an appointment—you might even meet your counselor within the same week of booking! Many of our clients do. We can’t wait to hear from you and look forward to meeting with you soon!
