Therapy Services for Women in Charlotte, NC
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
'I will try again tomorrow.'"
– Mary Anne Radmacher
Individual Counseling
One-on-one therapy for women 17 and up, built around you and what you want to change: anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, or just feeling stuck. New to therapy? Start here to see what it's actually like.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Care that moves at your pace and never pushes you to relive things before you're ready. I draw on the Community Resilience Model, polyvagal theory, and parts work to help you feel safe, grounded, and back in control of your life.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a research-backed therapy that helps your brain process painful memories so they stop running the show. It's effective for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and painful life events, often faster than talk therapy alone.
What I focus on
Most women I work with are dealing with more than one of these. That's normal. We'll start with what matters most to you.
-
The past doesn't always stay in the past. Trauma can live in your body and mind, showing up as flashbacks, nightmares, feeling on edge, or feeling numb and far away. It doesn't have to be one big event; years of smaller hurts count too.
Trauma therapy with me moves at your pace. You won't be pushed to relive anything before you're ready. Together we'll calm your nervous system, process what happened, often with EMDR, and help you feel safe and in control again. Learn more about trauma therapy

When someone you trusted breaks that trust, it can shake everything: your judgment, your worth, and whether you can trust again. Whether it's infidelity, lies, or a truth you just discovered, betrayal can land like trauma.
Healing isn't about "getting over it" fast or deciding right away whether to stay or go. I'll give you space to work through the shock, anger, and grief, rebuild your sense of self, and get clear on what comes next.
-
The way you love was shaped long before you had words for it. Maybe you get anxious when someone pulls away, shut down when they get close, or keep landing in the same arguments with different people.
These aren't character flaws; they're strategies your younger self learned to stay safe. Together we'll understand where your patterns started, how they show up now, and how to build relationships that feel secure without shrinking yourself. Learn more about attachment therapy
-
You say yes when you mean no, reread every email, and feel guilty resting. Being easy, helpful, and flawless may have been how you stayed connected or kept the peace, so letting go can feel risky.
In therapy we'll look at where the pressure comes from, quiet the inner critic, and practice saying no without the guilt spiral, so you can show up as yourself instead of who you think you should be.
-
When your mind won't stop racing, life gets exhausting. Anxiety can look like endless what-ifs, replaying conversations at night, a tight chest, or avoiding things that feel overwhelming, all while looking fine on the outside.
Anxiety isn't something you can just "calm down" from; it's your nervous system working overtime. Together we'll figure out what's driving it and build tools that actually help, so you can move through life with more ease.
-
Some seasons ask you to become someone new before you feel ready. The breakup, the move, the career that looked right on paper, becoming a parent, or realizing the old version of you doesn't quite fit anymore.
It can feel like you're in between: not who you were, not yet who you're becoming. Therapy gives you room to figure out what to keep, what to let go of, and who you want to grow into next.
-
Loss changes everything, whether it's a death, the end of a relationship, a pregnancy loss, or the life you thought you'd have. Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and low mood isn't something you can simply snap out of.
I'll make space for all of it: the sadness, the anger, the numb days, and the guilt. Together we'll find ways to carry what you've lost while still moving forward.
-
You don't need a label or a diagnosis to start. Lots of women come in saying "something feels off and I'm not sure what," and that's a great place to begin. We'll figure it out together in your free 10-minute consultation.
