Research-based therapy for Individuals and Couples

Therapy for Couples and Individuals in Charlotte, NC

We are wired for connection—and when that connection is strained or lost, it can deeply impact every part of life.

I work with couples who feel disconnected, stuck, or caught in painful patterns. This may come from:

  • long-term neglect of the relationship
  • major life transitions or stress
  • relationship injuries, including infidelity

Together, we work to rebuild connection, restore trust, and create a relationship that feels strong and fulfilling again.


I also work with individuals navigating:

  • midlife adjustment
  • relationship challenges and disconnection
  • recovery from affairs
  • the desire for more authentic, meaningful living

I have a particular interest in supporting clients through midlife transitions and working with men in therapy.

THERAPY FOR COUPLES

Using the structured, goal-oriented, science-based Gottman Method Couple Therapy along with the research-based, attachment-enhancing Emotionally Focused Therapy, each member of the couple can expect to be supported in a non-judgmental space while working toward relationship goals. Research and science-based therapies are key to successful couple therapy.

Because no two couples are the same, a thorough assessment is done to identify strengths and growth-areas within the relationship and a personalized treatment plan is developed to support the relationship goals.

THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS

Working from a strength-based perspective and from a brain-wise, research-based perspective, individual therapy clients can expect to share experiences and struggles in a confidential and supportive environment, while also being given tools and strategies that support the therapy goals. Individual therapy is client-driven and a collaborative process. Specific goals for therapy will be determined by you and your therapist.

MEN IN THERAPY

Applying the knowledge of male psychology and knowing that male emotionality, vulnerability, and sensitivity is different than a woman’s, men are supported in reaching their therapy goals with a practical and compassionate approach.

Oftentimes, therapy is a new experience for men and for many men the goals of therapy are not clear. That’s ok. Through a collaborative approach, goals of therapy can be co-created with your therapist.
